[Geysers] NPS-Geyser Gazer meeting

[Chase Ellison]

I have also been rather irritated at the lights at the gas station
when I have been in the basin this year.. I rode my bike from f&m to
the lower gas station and when I got to castle it was hard to ride my
bike since the lights were to bright. Anyway, is there anyway of
getting Delaware North out at all.. I worked in Grant this year until
I had a family emergancy and had to come home and 1/4 of the employees
who have eaten at the General Store in Grant (including me) have
gotten severe food poisoning. The complaint that does not affect me
much but the other Xanterra employees complain about is their prices
for general items.. Anyway, I miss the Hamiltons.
