I spent some time this evening with the geyser basin all to myself. I couldn’t help but imagine what it might have been like to stumble upon it unexpectedly. It’s easy to understand how people “back east” didn’t believe the reports coming out of the west. (You can also see the inspiration for many a Star Trek episode). http://qik.com/m/v/6519648
Watching Old Faithful go with no one else around is a rare priviledge.
Tomorrow the Inn opens and I will start checking in guests. There’s a very long post being composed by my brain about how all of that’s going…it’s very odd and very revealing at the same time.
