This does look like fun. Two minor additions (with a bit of snarkage), and then one moderately serious "are you sure you want to do that?"<br><br>The additions: You might want to assign some small number, 50 points or so and only claimable once, for seeing an "eruption" from Fishing Cone's side vent at West Thumb. (You could also give a BIG number for seeing Fishing Cone itself in eruption, but be prepared for that one to go unclaimed for a very long time...) Also, some decent number of points, at least 500 and maybe more, should be awarded (once) for seeing an eruption of (New) Imperial Geyser. Your chances of seeing it erupt if you get to it are essentially 100%, but just getting there requires a degree of commitment that should be rewarded, IMO. Same also with Cliff Geyser.<br> <br>Now the mildly serious thing: <br><blockquote style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex" class="gmail_quote">Jump continuously as high as you can to get a bead on Mastiff’s Water level for at least 30 seconds<br> </blockquote><div>I know you intended this as tongue-in-cheek, but I think it is very important to avoid things that appear to give, or could even be construed as giving, the non-gazer or inexperienced gazer an invitation to do something illegal, dumb and/or dangerous. This could qualify. Points for "gazers being gazers" are a fun thing, but I would feel just awful if somebody got arrested, or even worse, hurt, as a result of seeing me and saying "well, <u>he</u> was doing it, and he's one of those gazers."<br> <br>-- Bill Johnson<br></div> <br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Feb 21, 2013 at 8:19 PM, Karen Webb <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:caros@xmission.com" target="_blank">caros@xmission.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> <div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> <font face="Comic Sans MS">Maybe an Artemesia/Atomizer dual?
