Janice called from the Old Faithful yesterday afternoon; we’re there two summers ago, here are some of the pictures.
Yellowstone National Park is the geyser country, about one-third of the world geysers, of which the Old Faithful is the most famous one, are here between Madison Junction and the Old Faithful. There are all types of nature wonders, such as mud caldrons, bubbling and colorful paint pots, and fumaroles. The most amazing is that there are all close together, proving God is considerate, creating the Wonders for the tourists’ convenience.

The Old Faithful presently erupts every 90 minutes or so, there was a mathematical relationship between the duration and intervals. The intervals between eruptions are longer now than used to be; it was attributed to the earthquake, not the 1988 fire as explained by our tour guide. The eruption shoots out up to 8,400 gallons boiling water to a height up to 184 feet lasting for up to 5 minutes.
