[Geysers] 3/12

[carolyn loren]

There was a little webcam exitement this morning, with a sighting of a large steam cloud downbasin.  It turned out to be... Grotto.  Bijou continues to chug away when I've seen it lately.
 
The Fan & Mortar marker was still in place this morning; the tracks of perhaps four wolves were probably the reason 70+ bison were bunched up in front of the Inn for a while.
 
In most spots, the snow is to bench height:  39 inches officially today.  That may have led to the end of two long benches at Riverside; bison may have walked from deep snow to weak, old bench, and the benches lost.
 
There are at least 8 bison carcasses in and near the basin.
