Yellowstone "Shining" Caretaker

Yellowstone caretakerWhile most people around the country have just about had it with this winter that never ends, one man is reveling in its quiet and solitude in northwestern Wyoming. And why not? He's the Winter Keeper at Yellowstone National Park. Our Cover Story is reported by Lee Cowan:

To understand Steve Fuller and his passion for solitude, you have to understand his job.

He's the winter caretaker of Yellowstone National Park -- one of just a handful of hearty souls who remain in this wilderness long after the Summer tourists have gone.

"What an extraordinary landscape, huh?" he said. "You see all kinds of animals passing through -- Grizzly bears, big herds of bison, elk.

"When you're out alone, you don't want to make any noise. You wanna whisper if you're talking."

Cowan asked, "How do you describe your job here?"

"I usually start off with caretaker, and their immediate response is, 'Have you seen 'The Shining'?" he laughed.

 

A peak inside Yellowstone's deserted Canyon Lodge, and you can see why.
