Geyser Report Saturday, September 19, 2015

Today was "Bikes in the Park" Day--some 400 bicycles going from WYS to Old
Faithful and back starting at 0900.  Add that to the high volume of
vehicular traffic and the wildlife prevalent along that route, and it is no
place to be!  Nevertheless, I reached Norris about 0645, hoping for Ledge.
  Ledge vents had no visible water, no very forceful steam.  The "pit" was
1/2 mudflat, Jetsam very low.  I headed home 0715 hoping to beat the melee
on the roadway.

Both bison and elk were attracting attention along the W entrance road.
The animals are at their prime, gorgeous things.  25 degrees going and
coming at that time of morning.  The brown grasses had a creamy coating of
frost, less noticeable on the lodgepole needles.  Once the sun came up it
was a beautiful morning, but that sun was blinding to Madison to Norris
drivers.  I was happy to be heading the other direction and able to enjoy
the scenery.
