Construction Sale! The only dealer in town with Certified Pre-Owned Porsche or Audi Associated PressAnyone looking recently at the Internet webcam showing Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park might think the geyser had lost its world-renowned reliability.
But Old Faithful's faithful worldwide can rest assured that the geyser is working -- spouting off as usual about every 60 to 90 minutes.It's the webcam that's not working.The webcam shut down in May because the Old Faithful visitors center, where the camera was stationed, is being torn down and replaced.Since then, the park has received phone calls from as far away as Germany from people who noticed an image dated Aug. 6, 2005, on the webcam, wondering when the site would be operational again.The Park Service is working to restore the webcam. The Old Faithful webcam is at www.nps.gov/yell/oldfaithfulcam.htm . The 2005 picture was chosen as a temporary substitute for the real thing because it's considered to be a good image.Plans call for installation of a new camera on the nearby Old Faithful Lodge.The visitors center is being replaced because it can't handle the 2.6 million people who stop at Old Faithful every year to watch it eject 3,700 to 8,400 gallons of boiling water up to 184 feet high. The new $26 million visitor center is expected to open in fall 2008.
