Rinehart with some interesting info in it.  One was a graph of the temperature changes over time in Old Faithful at the 175  m (about 575 foot) depth.  Now, I didn't know that a temperature probe was ever placed in Old Faithful to that depth.  The Bibliography for the book lists many references for the chapter in question but does not tell me which of the references this data came out of.  So my question is, does anyone know more about this temperature at depth data and who gathered it?   I am just lazy and don't want to look up all the Yellowstone related references for this chapter.  <o:p></o:p> Thank you,<o:p></o:p> Stephen Eide<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'> <hr size=2 width="100%" align=center> </div> Msg sent via CableONE.net MyMail - http://www.cableone.net<o:p></o:p> </div> </body> </html>
