Yellowstone Association in the news

http://www.usatoday.com/travel/destinations/2010-01-14-yellowstone-in-winter_N.htm

USA today ran an article on Yellowstone in Winter. The classes they describe are part of the lodging and learning programs. The participants stay at the Mammoth Hotel rather than here at the buffalo ranch. When they are out in the field they stop here for lunch and one of our jobs is to make sure the coffee and hot water for tea or cocoa are ready when they arrive. In exchange we often get the leftovers from their sack lunches. They always leave us the raisins but occasionally we get lucky and wind up with chocolate chip cookies or potato chips. We also invite them into our bookstore and try to talk to them into becoming members of the Yellowstone association. I haven't watched the video attached to the article yet but one of our fellow volunteers is interviewed on it.
