He walked from the trailhead at the Inn parking lot (picture of him waving below as he started his walk) on the trail past Blue Star Spring and over to the northeast side of Old Faithful.  The President waited by the trailhead to Geyser Hill, watched an Old Faithful eruption (picture below), and then returned back to the Inn parking lot. There were a lot of secret service and law enforcement everywhere. </FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=281442304-16082009></SPAN><SPAN class=281442304-16082009><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Kendall</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left><IMG alt="" hspace=0 src="cid:281442304@16082009-10BE" align=baseline border=0></DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left><IMG alt="" hspace=0 src="cid:281442304@16082009-10C5" align=baseline border=0></DIV><BR> <DIV class=OutlookMessageHeader lang=en-us dir=ltr align=left> <HR tabIndex=-1> <FONT face=Tahoma size=2><B>From:</B> geysers-bounces@lists.wallawalla.edu [mailto:geysers-bounces@lists.wallawalla.edu] <B>On Behalf Of </B>Pat Snyder<BR><B>Sent:</B> Friday, August 14, 2009 6:14 PM<BR><B>To:</B> Geyser Observation Reports<BR><B>Subject:</B> Re: [Geysers] Obama visit to YNP<BR></FONT><BR></DIV> <DIV></DIV>Old Faithful Webcams are offline from 0900 to about 1500 on Sat., Aug,. 15, due to the Presidential visit.
