About Yellowstone
Yellowstone National Park is a national park of the United States located in the northwest corner of the state of Wyoming, with small portions extending into Montana and Idaho. It was established by the 42nd U.S. Congress through the Yellowstone National Park Protection Act and signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872. Yellowstone was the first national park in the US, and is also widely understood to be the first national park in the world. The park is known for its wildlife and its many geothermal features, especially the Old Faithful geyser, one of its most popular. While it represents many types of biomes, subalpine forest is the most abundant. It is part of the South Central Rockies forests ecoregion.

There are seismograph stations at Yellowstone that can measure the flushing of toilets at the Old Faithful Inn. They're trying to get the geysers and they see something on the scale and it's actually someone flushing the toilet.

Other times Yellowstone came up
Basically the only research I did for this was people putting stuff in geysers for fun. Just one last anecdote which I really enjoyed and this was from a guy called Norton who was a travel writer. He was one of the first people to write about visiting Yellowstone National Park. He went with a rich companion who he nicknamed Prince Telegraph because he owned all these Telegraph lines.

It's really odd. I was reading about the fact that they have discovered that Yellowstone, this is quite a while ago, Yellowstone is actually what is classified as a super volcano, because the whole thing effectively is one massive volcano. It's very scary because the last time it went off, it produced so much ash that you could have covered New York State in, I think it was 20 meters of ash.

In the 1800s when people visited Yellowstone and it was often soldiers, because there are a lot of soldiers placed in the area, then they would chuck their soiled or their dirty clothes into the crater of the geyser. Then it's very hot in there so it would get all strummied around in there and then blast it out. It's about 90 degrees and it erupts every 80 minutes.

They'd smell of rotten eggs as well, wouldn't they? Yes, because it's so. Stinks of salt, Uric, rotten eggs all over the shop. Someone did acknowledge that it wasn't that good a way of cleaning clothes. There was one book I was reading about the history of Yellowstone said, Many articles that go into her chambers never came out again. Giza laundering was often seen as an enterprise, both futile and costly. Wow. They would.
