[Geysers] Geyser report June 13

[Mike Keller]

A webcam won't be installed on the Inn.  The building is completely shut
down in the winter.  No power, no heat, no water, nothing-hence no web cam
for several months of the year.  There is some discussion about one on the
front face of the Lodge.  It would give a much better view of OF and down
basin from this location.

Awesome!!! Thanks, Paul. Seriously, mounting the webcam up there  
would be cool, too, flags aside.

They could also have a "flag design contest" like the "National Park  
Pass Photo Contest". Design a flag for Yellowstone. Get a big contest  
sponsor. (Kodak sponsors the Park Pass one.) Hmmm, prizes for the  
winner? Dinner for two served in the little alcove thing at the top  
of the Inn?
