Is the closing recent?
Or is it played down - like today's 'worst tornado ever recorded in NYC' is almost second page news..
Building up to 2012......they keep playing down.. or playing dumb....

Boiling Water at Hot Creek—The Dangerous and Dynamic Thermal Springs in California's Long Valley Caldera
By Christopher D. Farrar, William C. Evans, Dina Y. Venezky, Shaul Hurwitz, and Lynn K. Oliver
2007
Hot Creek flows through the Long Valley Caldera in a volcanically active region of east-central California. This stretch of the creek, looking upstream to the southwest, has long been a popular recreation area because of the warm waters from its thermal springs. These springs, however, are unpredictable and can suddenly erupt with violence and at boiling temperature. Because of this danger, the U.S. Forest Service has had to close parts of the Hot Creek Geologic Site to visitors. (USGS photo by Chris Farrar.)
The beautiful blue pools and impressive boiling fountains along Hot Creek in east-central California have provided enjoyment to generations of visitors, but they have also been the cause of injury or death to some who disregarded warnings and fences. The springs and geysers in the stream bed and along its banks change location, temperature, and flow rates frequently and unpredictably. The hot springs and geysers of Hot Creek are visible signs of dynamic geologic processes in this volcanic region, where underground heat drives thermal spring activity.

Christopher Farrar (USGS) did not take that picture. He uses people and takes all the credit!
ReplyDeleteHe is unfair to other colleauges!
Ahh yes... Chris Farrar is only looking after himself. He works for the government. He drives when he is drunk in the company truck and he uses drugs. He is unfit to work for the Federal gov.
ReplyDeleteHe also is married and has many girlfriends that he screws at his office and in his car.
I dated Chris while he was married - He pulled the wool over my eyes and his wife.
