What I was referring, in my posting, was something that was observed by a friend of mine, many years ago in Yellowstone NP at Old Faithful. This reliable friend told me that he and his family were standing around Old Faithful waiting for the next eruption. A NPS pickup truck pulling a compressor arrived at the location. An NPS crew got out of the truck and were looking at their watches. About 5 minutes before the geyser was scheduled to go off, they started the engine on the compressor and unreeled a hose from the compressor and stuck the end of the hose into a hole in the ground, just inside the log barrier around the site. They looked at their watches and the leader said something about it being 2 more minutes. At the end of those 2 minutes, the leader of the crew gave the signal and the handle was pulled on the compressor. In a short time the geyser began its show. It does not take a brain surgeon to figure that one out! Again, Old Faithful is an important part of the Yellowstone experience and if it started to falter in it's schedule, it might need some help from the NPS, to stay regular Anythings possible!!
