[Geysers] from a tour ad

I agree Butch, I hear that every year many, many times. I just remind them that they were shorter when they were a kid, so of course the geyser was taller.

Scott, this is almost a breath of fresh air.  I'm so used to just the opposite:   having folks come up
to the  OFVEC desk and say, "You know, 30 years ago Old Faithful erupted 200 feet high 
and erupted every thirty minutes!"  And sometimes I can't convince them of the truth
even when I tell them I was around back then!  All part of the fun!


  All I know is, Old Faithful is still as awe-inspiring and gorgeous as ever!!  Thanks for the note!

A travel company called Collette is offering a tour of western national parks. This tour will include Yellowstone where (and I quote) "One of the many highlights is the world-famous Old Faithful geyser [sic], a fountain of steam that rises more than 60 feet in the air."
 
Well, OK -- steam is involved, and I guess that "more than 60 feet" is technically correct. But I wonder if the tour people have actually seen the thing.
