[Geysers] Pulled off a sweep

[Dan Roach]

Joydean and I have several times. In fact, the very first time I ever brought her the Park we got 5 of the 6 (all except Great Fountain) in less than 3 hours! We barely got to one and it erupted, and we moved on to the next one and it erupted. I don't think we even waited at Grand more than a cycle or two. And this after I had spent weeks and weeks telling her how patient she needed to be while waiting for the geysers!

  On July 4, 2008, on our last day in the Park this year, my son and I managed to see all six of the NPS-predicted geysers up close in one day (Old Faithful, Daisy, Grand, Riverside, Castle, and Great Fountain).  Thus, we completed out first sweep of the "Big Six".

  In addition that day, we also saw eruptions of Atomizer, Oblong, Rocket major, Lion, Beehive, and Aurum, along with many of the other usual small geysers.

  At the end of the day, we got to see the excellent fireworks display in West Yellowstone.

  Has anyone else done a sweep of the "Big Six"?
