Would it be too optomistic to think about having a 2nd camera installed on the roof of the <st1:place w:st="on">Inn</st1:place>?  It would open up so many more possibilities for WATER confirmation and not leave me, or any other gazer,  guessing on which geyser was producing the steam cloud behind the ridge.  I certainly think that if GOSA has some funds to help the NPS with, this would be a great way to help.    Most Humbly yours;   John Warnock       <o:p></o:p> <div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'> <hr size=2 width="100%" align=center> </div> Insert movie times and more without leaving Hotmail®. <a href="http://windowslive.com/Tutorial/Hotmail/QuickAdd?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_HM_Tutorial_QuickAdd_062009" target="_new">See how.</a><o:p></o:p> </div> </body> </html>
