Old Faithful

I [completely unplanned but luckily] showed up about 15 minutes earlier than the predicted time...so I took a nap [as did others]. Turns out she was five minutes late today anyways. I thought it was every hour on the hour, but it can be 45 to 120 minutes or so depending on when the last one blew. Hundreds of people were sitting around saying, "oh look. there's a dribble...it's about to blow any second!" And of course it didn't. Then it looked like a garden hose shot water straight up. I was not impressed, and left before the rest of the crowd did.

  1. Here's another "miss" for you. You missed being on TV at Old Faithful by one day. Jenna Bush was interviewing people on Monday visiting Yellowstone at the geyser who were waiting for it to blow. She also interviewed an old faithful geezer geyser gauger at the Daisy geyser. Jenna will be at the Arches today so you missed that by a year. You also missed Old Faithful of CA near Santa Rosa, but you were probably lucky to have missed that. MAD
