"OLD FAITHFUL" OF ARIZONA

Welcome to Foundtain Hills, AZ. They call this the "Old Faithful" of Arizona because it is set to go off every hour on the hour.


Due to energy conservation they are only using one pump instead of two so the plume only goes up about 300 feet instead of almost 600 feet. But it is still an impressive sight. And you can see it for miles aroun when it does goes off.


The birds are American Coots which I had never seen before. They have a really strange waddle. Guess that's why they call us "old coots" - because we've picked up a waddle as we've gotten older.
