[Geysers] Thanks to geyser people last week...

[Bruce Jensen]

As a long-time geyser enthusiast who is still pretty wet-behind-the-ears,
I must say that I truly appreciated the opportunity to meet several
experienced geyser people last week in the UGB (especially July 16 to 19),
and I greatly value the wisdom and friendship they demonstrated.  My own
time in the basins has been unfortunately brief over the years, and the
help and knowledge that all of you folks imparted was a great help to my
family and me during our most recent visit.  I tend to be quite shy
myself, and having folks who are open and friendly also makes for a
comforting experience.

I still haven't managed to see a Giant, but thanks to the help of others 
I was able to experience Penta Geyser this time around, and one generous
fellow gave my son and I a nice crash course in what constitutes a Giant
Hot Period...as I read the reports that come in, I will now be able to
picture what is actually happening in the moments before Giant plays. 
Another gave us some concept about the theoretical relationship between
Little Squirt and Beehive's behavior.  All great stuff.  Finally, thanks
to the announcements over the radio about times and events, the process of
hotfooting it all over the basin was much more rewarding than in the past
when we were radio-silent.

I am reluctant to mention any names lest I get them wrong or leave someone
out, but those of you who recognize my name, please be aware that the time
you spent talking and explaining was a great help to us.  Thank you!
