I am sure that there are individuals that have wondered just what the heck do these people do during these trips? Do they actually sit around and watch water spurt from the ground? Just how boring is that?

The short answer is YES! However, I would like to direct this all the community to the recent article that appeared in the Boston Globe from a lady that Dad and Mom met on one of these trips. While there is a significant amount of "artistic" licence taken by Heather, the essence of this article is true. Dad assures me that not all the quotes are correct but that has no plans to sue. Dad did take me in last year to sit at the porch of the Lower Hamilton Store in the Upper Geyser Basin (Old Faithful Area), and I was able to watch many of the geysers with all his Geyser Gazer friends. The excitement when one of the rare or more unusual ones goes is well documented in the article. You can use this LINK to the article.

Once the weather clears, Dad says the he plans a photo of the ICE CREAM, jerky treats, and magic biscuits taken at the same spot as last year's photo just to show that they are here in our rolling home on wheels. Also, all the Geyser Gazer regulars have expressed how sorry they were that I had to move into spirit form. Some even sent cards to Mom and Dad before they left home. How they found out is beyond all of us. However, Dad carries me in his heart as we now watch all the action together.

PS: Love the picture of Jerry in front of the Tetons. Spirit Allie and I loved visiting there and going to the Ranger Talks at Colter Bay.
