[Geysers] Info from last week in Yellowstone

[Gary Novak]

MessageFirst, special thanks to rangers Carolyn, Kelli and Megan for making it a great trip and for tolerating my giddy calls.  It was great to meet Carolyn at Castle after she had downloaded the datalogger.  She looked so small on that big geyser.  Wow.

Grotto and Rocket were IE at 11:02; Riverside was filling and below overflow at this time.

Giant skunked me again.  Rats!

Karen . . . always a pleasure to hang out on the geyser basin with you.

I am (slowly) processing photos.  You can see the ones that are done to date here:

And I am developing a "Yellowstone in Winter" set that includes more than just geysers:

That's all, folks!
