[Geysers] Geyser Report Tuesday, August 18, 2015

[Karen Webb]

We really wanted to stay, we had such great weather and got so many 
walk-up geysers for our August visit last week (even got clear skies for 
one of the peak Perseid nights), but looking at the webcam and seeing 
clouds and very few people in shorts or tank tops makes me glad we 
headed back Sunday!
