Geysers, geysers, everywhere...

... and not a drop of water to drink. At least, you better not drink it. If the temperature doesn't hurt you the minerals and bacteria probably will. Here's the granddaddy -- Old Faithful - which we watched perform twice.



As we walked the lengthy geyser basin, a number of people were waiting for Grand Geyser to erupt. They had been waiting over an hour already, and the 4 hour window meant a possibly long wait. We did see it erupt 90 minutes later as we walked back and you can get perspective from the people seated by it.



Castle Geyser (below) is one of my favorites...



...as it the neighboring Grotto Geyser.



And here is Clepsydra Geyser and you can see the plume of water in the right/center through all of the steam.
