If we let the free market decide when Old Faithful would erupt, it would run like clockwork.

Back in '66 our fraternity in Bozeman had a letter from Ranger Walker, authorizing us to regulate the Old Faithful eruption in concert with the interstate water compact of 1892 at times when Chuck could not make it up from Texas. The fraternity owned a hand-crank-start 1917 White open top touring bus from Yellowstone. We would load it up with a keg and potato chips and I would drive "Minerva" the bus to the Park. Upon arriving some of the boys would install a steering column with wheel into the ground at the appropriate spot. After the requisite amount of time, the designated caller would bark out, "Let 'er rip!" The boys would turn the wheel and the awesome eruption would begin. The tourists loved it, or so we thought. The wheel would turn counter clockwise as the eruption subsided and the real park ranger approached. We would quickly load up and head for the Geyser Bar & Pizza in West Yellowstone for a celebratory pizza and some adult beverages, thanking Ranger Walker for the public service opportunity.
Some of the above-described information may or may not have been "stretched" in the effort to extend due credit to Chuck Norris. The rest is factual, to the best of my memory of the good old days.
