Thursday August 16, 1934
Thurs. — Saw more geysers and hot spring formations, beautiful terraces of many colors, devils kitchen, etc. Tasted the Apolinaris Spring. Rather bitter, but good for lots of ailments. Past the Obsidian Cliffs, brot a sample along. “Warning — Do not Feed the Bears — They are dangerous” These signs were seen thruout the park. Others we saw frequently, “Slow,” sound horn, keep to right, danger — narrow road, men working, road under construction, one way traffic, S curve, hairpin curve, etc.!
The Ranger Stations in the park have their share of funny questions. One guy walks up to the Information Desk and asks, “What kind of information do you have here?”
Another rushes up and wants to know how long before Old Faithful plays again. Upon being told he would only have to wait about 20 minutes he replied, “I haven’t time to wait on it but give me a “sticker” as I want to prove to the folks back home that I was here anyway.”
An old lady came up and asked “Where is the old geezer?” Anyone might have thot she was looking for her husband but the ranger supposed she meant the old faithful geyser so he politely told her where she might see it. Then the next question was “When do you flush it again?”
