[Geysers] Chinaman photo

[Paul Strasser]

Re the sign, I'd guess it was a warning for fishermen and other visitors to
look out for the discharge from Old Faithful,  or some such.

 

Yes, I wouldn't be surprised at all if Marler was up to something.  From
what I can gather he had virtually carte blanche in the geyser basin.

Subject: [Geysers] Chinaman photo

 

Sometime quite a long time ago I got this photo -- I think Mike Keller might
have posted it ? -- showing Chinaman Spring erupting in 1950. JPG is
attached. (Yeah, I know it is now "Chinese Spring," a name I intentionally
place inside quotes.) Two things:

 

1. Note the shovel on the ground. Most likely Marler was up to something.

 

2. My question: does anybody know the meaning of the sign in the left
background, down the slope toward the river below Chinaman? Seems like an
odd place for a sign.
