[Geysers] Geyser Carol 2012

[sgryc at comcast.net]

No, I didn't forget. It's just that inspiration was delayed a bit this year. Here's hoping for a better 

new year filled with joy from our strange and wonderful obsession. 



Season's Greetings to All, 

Steve Gryc 





Colter’s Hell 

(to the tune of “Jingles Bells”) 



At Gardiner we arrive 

In a beat-up Chevrolet, 

Through the park we drive 

Gazing all the way. 

We see a boiling spring 

Erupting to great height, 

What fun it is to ride and sing 

A gazing song tonight. 



Oh, Colter’s Hell, sulphur smell, 

Brimstone all around. 

Oh what fun it is to see 

Mud boiling in the ground. 

Travertine, stinking steam, 

Sinter everywhere, 

Sputs and holes and fumeroles 

To make us stop and stare. 



A day or two ago 

I thought I’d take a ride 

On out to Iron Creek 

Guidebook at my side. 

The day was cold and dank 

Misfortune seemed my lot, 

But right along the river bank 

The Cliff Geyser upshot. 



Oh, Colter’s Hell, sulphur smell, 

Brimstone all around. 

Oh what fun it is to see 

Mud boiling in the ground. 

Travertine, stinking steam, 

Sinter everywhere, 

Sputs and holes and fumeroles 

To make us stop and stare.
