Old Faithful
Every one of us has a picture of Old Faithful in Yellowstone.
It is probably faulty.
The geyser is, of course, impressive. But it is, in my mind, too commercialized....except I find no other way the product could be presented.
The crowd which gathers for the eruption is seated/standing in a semi-circle of probably more than two football fields!
While the crowd waits, and guesses when the actual eruption will come....mini-eruptions and added steam bring oohs and aahs from the crowd.
Then Old Faithful lives up to its reputation. We all watch as the world's most-famous geyser makes it's anticipated appearance.
It is, of course, marvelous.
It is what we expect.
Enjoy....we did!
