Definitely one of the largest on earth.

The caldera measures 43 by 28 miles (70 by 45 kilometers), and postcaldera lavas spill out a significant distance beyond the caldera proper.[4]

Flying the area, I'm always amazed at the altitude.....there is a gentle rise in the terrain in about the middle of the park you really don't notice, until you look at the altimeter! One time, I got to see Old Faithful blow, from the air, impressive. Luckily, I and a few others on this site live close enough to it to go out instantly, the rest of you will have a long lingering death. As if we didn't have enough to worry about!

Where’s the outboard and fish hold?[emoji16]

You guys from Alaska have a one track mind! The Tuamotu Islands are 2700 NM from Oahu! Will be trolling Kona lures!

Note: It has a nice top loading freezer/frig

Also, might try sailing the inland waterways to Glacier Bay this summer! Let me know if you guys need another BFR in your tail dragger? You have a nice car I can borrow again? ha Ha…

Buddy of mine was a crew chief on a CH-47 when the aftermath got underway.

It’s a long trip motoring a sailboat at 5 knots retracing my 8GCBC amphibious route! But, it would be totally awesome to see your incredible spread and you folks again.
