[Geysers] Data Logger downloads and other stuff

[Ralph Taylor]

I haven't spoken with Hank for some months now, but my understanding is that
it is a combination of budget cuts, lack of housing, and low interest by the
Geology Program in the eruption data (not the cleanup).

Karen, are you saying that there will be zero thermal; cleanup in the
Firehole Basins the entire summer?

 

And that there will be zero logger doqnloads the entire summer?

 

Why on earth would these decisions be made? Is It staffing?

Hey all,

 

Yesterday, at Tour Guide Training, I asked Hank Heasler about the geyser
data logger downloads, and volunteered to help with them.  He said no, that
he and Cheryl will download them in the fall.  I asked about the geyser
basin cleaning volunteers, and he said there weren't going to be any based
at Old Faithful this summer.  So I fully expect the geyser basins to be
trashed this summer.

 

And about a certain person who complained about geyser gazers the other day.
Sunday morning I went out up on the hill.  I chatted first with Bob (I don't
know his last name) who I'd seen out there the night before waiting for
Beehive.  Inez stopped as she went by and complained about the last couple
calls being unclear on her radio. I am not currently carrying a radio, but I
mentioned that perhaps it had been her location.  Bob mentioned something
about not many calls lately, and it may have been non gazers on the channel.
I went and chatted with Michael Lang, Kristine B. and Jim S., all of whom I
hadn't seen yet this spring.  Later, when I was looping the hill grabbing
what litter I could with my folding grabber (while still staying on the
boardwalk, of course), Inez was up by North Goggle.  I tried to introduce
myself, and she said that because I'd ignored her earlier, that we were
through.  I was a bit flabbergasted!  I could think of no reason for my
behavior, chatting with people I've known for years, could have offended
anyone!  So I think that a certain person was being unrealistic in their
expectations in regards to the the geyser gazer community.
