Once upon a time there were rather few gazers. They went out into the geyser basin, never sure of what they might find. They need'nt ask a ranger to download data, as there was no such thing. They didn't ask what a Webcam showed, as there was no such thing. They didn't call out on a CB or FRS radio, as there was no such thing. They actually passed along data, verbally, even to rangers who wrote it down and passed it along because they cared. Gosh, they had a lot of fun. Whither the good 'ol days? (Yeah, I know..........) Webcams down basin. Relays of electronic info. Why? Good God, people, it's not that important. Scott _____________ In a message dated 8/25/2010 4:51:14 P.M.
