[Geysers] from a tour ad

[Tom Kearney]

Maybe someone should contact them?

 

Working 16 summers for the Park Service around Old Faithful I heard the old folk wisdom about eruptions on the hour and how the geysers built up pressure repeated endlessly by tour guides.

 

The year I drove the Yellowstone tour bus and observed the outside tour groups all around the park convinced me that they were factually challenged on every topic, Tauck Tours being the worst.

If you were asked to re-write that, what would you say?


Thanks,

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.
