I fully intended to be in Mexico at the end of the rainy season but I wasn't ready to go yet. So, I went back to Yellowstone Park. I really don't know how long I have been going there but it has to be on the order of 47 years. When I was a kid, we used to spend a week at Fishing Bridge and a week in the fall at the Cave Falls campground on the Bechler river. The week in the fall was the most interesting because there were a lot of moose around and they have a nastier temperament than a grizzily.
This year I intended to walk around more and watch geysers that you had to walk to see. I ended up deciding to see Grand or Castle go off. They were relatively close to the parking lot at Old Faithful. I thought that I would need a couple of days to see something happen. It didn't work out that way. On Tuesday, 16 September 2003, I saw 4 new ones go off in the space of an hour. This includes both Grand and Castle.
