Geyser Report Thursday, June 11, 2015

The UGB stayed foggy til about 0930 this AM.  Once it began to
breakup, the sun rapidly appeared in a blue sky.

empty when I returned just before 0900 after speaking briefly with
some visitors.

According to the sign as I approached the UGB, the parking lot
closures at Old Faithful will continue until 7/31.  Biscuit still
closed, and pylons have appeared beside more pullouts along the
Firehole.  Craig Pass opened early this AM, but there will be 30
minute traffic delays.  The project is scheduled to be completed by
10/1 per today's newspaper.

The Yellowstone Historic Center in West celebrated Train Day
today--the day the first train passengers arrived in WYS many years
ago.  Paul Shea, the first curator of the museum, who is now at the
Livingston museum, gave a presentation about the Union Pacific "Bears"
promotions of travel to Yellowstone.  I had not understood that
several different bear posters came out in a given year--as many as 7.

This is my 2nd draft--the first one disappeared from my computer--hope
I reconstructed it reasonably completely!
