To anyone who might be interested, May marked the publication of
Permanent Vacation. Not to be confused with the 2001 album from Aerosmith, this is a collection of musings and stories from National Park Service employees about their times living amid some of the continent's most unforgettable landscapes. They are western tales, including one from yours truly and four others, new and old, from good ol' Yellowstone.
The book is published by the hip artisans at Bona Fide Books, a small press in Tahoe deserving a lot of support. There is more information at their website . .
