Old Faithful Blows 7/1 @ 12:38 pm
 |
"Where's the geyser?" you may be asking. |
 |
We were all milling around waiting for the
geyser, which was "predicted" to blow around 12:28. Then
someone yelled, "Buffalo!"
The crowd parted as this bison came strolling across the lawn, preceded
by a ranger who called out for people to scatter out of the way. The
bison came up onto the sidewalk, cut thru the benches, and then started
grazing on the lawn in front of Old Faithful. It was thrilling. |

Seismograph tracking earthquakes, which are constantly

NOT Old Faithful geyser. Something like
Bumble Bee Geyser. But
nonetheless, a nice blow from a geyser across from the Old Faithful Lodge
parking lot. |
 |
Lots and lots of gables make this an awesome
lodge.
Can you discern that twisty natural chunks of tree limbs were used to
support and decorate all the gables?
|
 |
NOW that is a fire place.
See the
clock?
The fire log tools are about 6 feet.
|
 |
Wait a minute, I thought you were not suppose
to look up in case of falling debris!
This is the lodge's ceiling as seen from the first floor. |
 |
There is a little house, big enough for
people, but looking like a bird house, in the rafters. The access
stairs were blocked off. |
