Friday, May 24, 2013

Accesses started opening today.  All was closed as I drove in, but
after the 8AM geyser call to the VC at OF, I returned to Fountain, and
the closed signs were coming down.  Firehole Lake, Fairy Falls, Black
Sand Basin, the pullouts at Rabbit creek had the closed signs removed.
 Maureen Edgerton & others took Firehole Lake drive and caught Great
Fountain ie @ 0820, dodging bison patties the whole way.   Firehole
Canyon was NOT open at 1:30PM as I headed home.
