Personally, I am really enjoying reading Lynn's series on the '59 Hebgen
Lake quake.  The February issue (not April) contains Part IV, which
Scott refers to here.  The series will continue until the August issue,
which will mark the event's 50th anniversary.
 
As for those geothermal plants, haven't we learned anything (New Zealand
and Nevada: Hot Creek, Beowawe and Steamboat Springs; etc.....) or do
others like Sierra not care over the loss of geysers?  I assume the
letter writing has begun ...

Subject: [Geysers] April 09 Sput correction


In receipt of the April 09 Sput (on March 4, for Udo's record -- and
what? you want me to pay... again?), I'm afraid another correction is
necessary. In this case, I'm sure this is correcting a typo, but
nonetheless:
 
-- The lowest __official__ elevation is Death Valley is -282 feet (not
the -292 as given in the Sput, page 18)
 
-- Several people have reported obtaining GPS values of -289 feet out on
the salt flat west of Badwater. This I find perfectly reasonable, given
that Death Valley is an active, evolving place and has, west-up versus
east-down, tilted by as much as 20 feet in less than 2,000 years.
Nevertheless, the NPS officially accepts -282, calling reports of -289
"popular misinformation."
    The -282 is from the USGS, and that survey was many years ago.
Therefore......
 
-- I guess that table on page 18 also needs to move Salton Sea above
Vpadina Akchanaya in the list.

P.S. Like the fact that the Spring 2009 issue of Sierra magazine notes
locations with geysers as prime candidates for geothermal power plants?
Yes, indeed.
