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.
