As this discussion proceed it would be good to have a more definite
"where and when", since it will take some planning to get from here to
Yellowstone.
Then, later on, comes all the fun, planning for what flies I'll need
and so on.
Let's try and make this happen................

If Greater Yellowstone is the "where" then someone ought to
choose a "when" in the very near term. July-August is the
peak of the tourist season and while it is relatively easy
to hike away from the crowds finding lodging is a different
story.

I would imagine most folks on this side of the pond are like
myself and fairly flexible on the dates so I'd say the ball
is in your and Jarmo's court as far as choosing the dates.

If Yellowstone is the destination, there are plenty of folks
here who know their way around so you should have no problem
finding someone to share a cabin and a stream.

As for the Grizzly bears, I offer this quote from the National
Park Service website:

* Injury Table
From 1980-2002, over 62 million people visited Yellowstone National
Park (YNP). During the same period, 32 people were injured by bears.
The chance of being injured by a bear while in the park is
approximately 1 in 1.9 million.
