[Geysers] Steamboat?

[Chase Ellison]

I also have heard a report or two from Xanterra coach drivers that  
Cistern was 8 or 9 feet below over flow as of  5 P.M. Little good it  
will do but I'll try to take a run down on the Norris snow coach tour  
on monday to check it out but thats the soonest I can get down there.
