…And it contains 2/3 of all the geysers in the world! Today was my first time seeing Old Faithful in person! And since the girls did the young scientist program, which is done in the Old Faithful area, we saw it erupt three times! (It erupts every 1 ½ hours!). Even though 2 of the 3 oldest girls objected to this required “school” assignment, it turned out to be interesting and we enjoyed seeing all the many geysers in the 3 ½ mile loop around Old Faithful. It was amazing to see so many active geysers in one small area, especially when you co
nsider how few geysers there are in the world. We were fortunate to see the largest predictable geyser in the world erupt. The Grand Geyser only erupts once a day. I have to note that I prayed we’d be able to see it erupt – no easy thing considering the 3 hour window in which they can predict its eruption – and it erupted right as we approached!!
