[Geysers] Monteith Picture 1

[David Monteith]

Well, my last geyser photo was easy.  Yes, it was Hillside Geyser at West 
Thumb.  The picture was taken September 24, 1995.  At the time, very little 
was known about Hillside.  We knew it was active but had no idea what the 
interval was.  In fact there was some speculation that the previous 
interval was 22 days.   It took me three full days to get that 
picture.  Morning temperatures at Lake hovered around -10F.  But I was 
repaid.  Not only did I see Hillside twice, once on the 22nd and again on 
the 24th (a double interval of over 50 hours), the next day, September 
25th, I was rewarded with my first Giant eruption.  A beautiful and totally 
unexpected eruption on a 364 day interval.  If you're wondering, it only 
takes one hot period.  None had been seen for months.

Anyway, here's a new geyser picture that may or may not be easy.
