The Obamas had lunch and views of the famous geyser, most likely oblivious to the ripple effect caused by extensive security measures for their visit on the Park's busy, fee-free weekend. On the narrow two-lane highway between Old Faithful and Midway Geyser Basin, however, motor traffic came to a standstill, eventually backing up vehicles for nearly two miles...

I save water and electricity by only boiling the kettle three times a day, putting the boiled water in a flask for tea and coffee later. I only put the geyser on to have enough hot water for showers and baths. I have planted maybe 300 trees in my lifetime.
