| 0:00.0 | The America's National Parks Podcast is sponsored by L. L. L. Bine believes the more time you spend outside together, the better. |
| 0:09.5 | That's why they design products that make it easier to take longer walks, have deeper talks, |
| 0:15.5 | and never worry about the weather. |
| 0:18.1 | Discover clothing, outerware, footwear, and gear made for every type of adventure with the outside built right in. |
| 0:25.0 | Because on the inside we are all outsiders. |
| 0:28.0 | Be an outsider with L.L. Beam. You're going to. About a month ago, a large Fisher opened up in the wall of a cliff face at Grand |
| 1:10.6 | Teton's National Park. |
| 1:13.4 | A Fisher is a separation of rock caused by geological movement. |
| 1:18.8 | It's a fairly normal occurrence. |
| 1:21.1 | The park closed off the surrounding area because loose rock can dangerously tumble for extended periods of time after a Fisher opens up. |

| 2:28.0 | So if you do a quick Google search for the Yellowstone Supervolcano, |
| 2:32.0 | you're going to find some pretty terrifying theories |

| 2:41.2 | What's more, you'll find a heck of a lot of articles in YouTube videos in particular |
| 2:46.0 | about how the government is keeping the signs of an impending eruption secret. |
| 2:52.1 | They'll point to the changes in Old Faithful's predictability, increased earthquakes, |
