We've been back home for almost a week and I have not been back out on the local streets. It's time to bring it back home, but for today I have to hit the archives. This is the Gateway Geyser. It is in a park in East St. Louis, Illinois, directly across the Mississippi from the Arch. They pop it off every day in the warmer months. How high the jet rises depends on the wind. If it's perfectly calm the water rises as high as the top of the Arch, 630 feet/192 meters.
That's quite a sight to see.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever seen a geyser go off, only bubbling mud pools
