The Inn, like the forest around it from which it was created, is about to return to the earth as a great pile of unrecognizable ash and charcoal. Ash and burning embers rain onto the barren waste-land of the Upper Geyser Basin. Old Faithful Geyser is playing with no one to watch. The choking smoke and heat are becoming unbearable. Abruptly, the winds change directions.
Northern winds turn the fire south.
Old Faithful Inn has been spared, but its surroundings have been forever altered. Rocks lie shattered by the intense heat of the fire. Black dust devils rise from the thickness that blankets the earth. Search the Web.
