[Geysers] Old Faithful Inn Camera Snaps

Yes, the Inn can't work.

 

However. if you've noticed, the New! Improved! Humongous! VC is so bloody
big that is top squared-off area is (annoyingly) visible from lots of places
in the basin - places you wouldn't expect.  Like Grand.  And Daisy.  And
Oblong.

 

It would be cool if GOSA could help place small static webcams up there in
its windows that look out on Grand.  And Daisy.  And Oblong (this one could
also catch Riverside, Giant, etc.)   No need to move and zoom in and out.
Just stick them there, looking in one specific direction at one geyser, or
group of geysers.  Of course, a single controllable camera would also work
to move around the northern part of the basin.

 

You know the drill. lemons.  Lemonade. 

 

It would be great if the NPS could take advantage of the temple's looming
bulk this way.

One of the problems with installing a webcam on the top of the Inn is that
the Inn does not have a power supply for several months during the year.

Thanks Pat:
 
For capturing those great shots of Beehive and Oblong. Would it be too
optomistic to think about having a 2nd camera installed on the roof of the
Inn?  It would open up so many more possibilities for WATER confirmation and
not leave me, or any other gazer,  guessing on which geyser was producing
the steam cloud behind the ridge.  I certainly think that if GOSA has some
funds to help the NPS with, this would be a great way to help.  
 
Most Humbly yours;
