The "Flaming" Geyser

It being a super nice day we decided to check out a local state park, so off to Flaming Geyser State Park. What a treat it was to stare in awe at the towering nine inch flame flickering up from the ground. 89% pure methaine the sign said, the sign is of course larger than the flame. The sign also said that there is a second geyser, the Bubbling Geyser, which is less impressive. That seems hard to believe, however we could not check it out from ourselves as the trail to the Bubbling Geyser had been washed out. To the defense of the Flaming Geyser, it apparently was much more impressive prior to the 1960's, it regularly had a flame of 6 feet or higher and was featured in Ripley's Believe it or Not. I have tried in vain to find an old photo of the Flaming Geyser in it's heyday, oh well, I'm sure you can use your imagination if you want too. Anyway here are a couple photos from the Flaming Geyser State Park.

Enjoy
