Just checking to see if Kevin is here. Not sure when he was supposed to get home.
08:47:42
If he doesn't show around 10 MDT, I will take the cam. Might be away from computer, so send me some pings please!
08:51:21
I'll be gone by then but someone will be here I am sure

At he Grand Friday night some IDIOT came in, sat on the bench just up from the gazers and then started to yell at us for talking and told us if we neede to talk that we should whisper to each other.
09:01:10
oh my!
09:01:43
did anybody suggest this person move down the benches so they could enjoy the quiet away from everybody?
09:02:00
We told him there were other benches way away from us, but he said our voices would carry. Biggest jerk that I have seen in over 30 years.
09:02:25
and nobody knew who he was?
09:03:19
No. He wife had come by and I told her how Grand worked. I suspect he wanted to go back to the cabin and she wanted to stay so he was mad at us.
09:04:00
sad.
09:04:18
so not someone listening for a Turban, just annoyed at people having fun, then.
09:05:20
On the plus side I did meet probably over 100 GREAT people that were lots of fun. The jerk was yelling even before dark. Grand went after the window that night.
09:06:17
The sad thing is there were probably ony about 30 people out there total. He really would have been mad during an afternoon eruption.
09:06:35
loisb please fix the old faithful report time
09:07:05

At some point I think Jake might want all eruptions by all people, as a record of who saw what, not just the earliest time.
09:24:17
good point 7. Worth asking Jake and glennon.
09:24:40
whenever somebody else has entered a correct time, I don't do an entry. I figure too much data!
09:25:16
correction: I should have said when someone's entry matches the time I have. Bad choice of words initially.
09:25:24
Jake was the one who told me that. Ideas for the future.

Hi -- I thought I'd upload the last OF start it can be seen at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ci2V1lBFuh0
09:30:55
Thank you!
09:31:06
I also really enjoyed the last BH. Great camera work! I'll post a link as soon as it is uploaded.

09:36:17
the op should come in here sometime
09:39:11
This operator is still a little unsure of herself yet. Adding chat might be a little hard.
09:39:41
Being on chat is optional for operators. ALL we are charged with under our volunteer work is running the cam. Even logging times is optional.

As promissed. Here is a replay of BH http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wevV6J7BaEk

just from observing when everyone has been learning, I think it would be helpful

ynpvisitor61 joins Yellowstone
09:44:07
there are times when keeping track of the cam, the static, logging times and chatting can be a real challenge. For someone new to the cam, it can be overwhelming. Even for experienced operators, there are times when it is hard to keep track!
09:44:45
There are several operators who never visit here.

IMAX is filming another show. Big booms blocking the boardwalk.

I've been there when they were doing that, it's interesting
16:13:50
I was there when they did the first one. HUGE camera that took two people to push. This one is much smaller. They were doing mostly algae beds when I was there.
16:14:24
thats what ive been trying to find, the huge camera. this is like a semi circle of smaller cams

Don't think they are going for algae in this shot. Not a lot of it in that black stuff around the bw!

Decided to come to the park earlier than the 10th of Oct and checked with OFL. The cabins are available thru Oct 2, even tho the website says they are closed. So the red critter and the gimp will be there. I was surprized that they had openings for Frontier and Budget cabins.

hi Inez
16:39:08
Hi Inez!
16:39:22
Glad you were able to snag a cabin. They are the best!
16:39:29
Hi back. I just had to see if I could come and see F&M
16:39:54
sounds like it has had a few event cycles the last couple of days. You should be in luck!

Gary is coming up with the RV so we can continue to stay after OFL closes. Usually the best Indian summer weather that time of year.
16:40:28
Totally agree!
16:40:42
that is as long as the temp doesn't dip below zero that is!
16:41:00
I wonder why they don't have the actual dates they are open on the website.
