Old Faithful
Friday, July 4th, 2008
In the morning we got up early to our first amazing experience with Old Faithful geyser. With an average of 92 minutes interval, we were in for the predicted 7:17am eruption that may last just over 2 minutes. It was already a few minutes past 7 o’clock and people started to gather on the platform for the show to begin. The walkways surrounding it as well as the benches were frosted, so it’s slippery and very cold. Mist let out from our mouths as we exhale. Then we heard the unmistakable gurgling sound underneath, and the steady rising of water from its vent. Within seconds water shot a hundred feet vertically up. Our gaze followed, and for a time nothing else mattered. Nature does that to you.
