Mystery photo number ten

July 16, 2012 by Dave Knadler

These people all appear to be waiting for something.

What have we here? For one point, name the building. For three points, tell from whence the name derives. Be specific.

More along these lines:

  • Mystery photo number nineteen
  • This just in …
  • dog cools off in mountain lakeIt’s been hot. But I can’t complain
  • A poseur in the Capitol of Cool
  • !975 Pontiac Grand PrixThey don’t build ’em like this anymore

About Dave Knadler

Obscure writer. Lazy photographer. Bashful guitarist. Perhaps too fond of wine. Tireless nemesis of New York Times crosswords, Wordle, Semantle and all other puzzles du jour.

    Old Faithful Inn which sits next to Old Faithful Geyser which faithfully erupts every 91 minutes.

      Mike gets one point, for a total of one.

      The geyser identification, while certainly correct, isn’t the answer I had in mind about the provenance of the name. See Mary’s answer below. Again, I’ll try to be more precise in my phrasing.

    This was a tough one! I think Mike is right, and I feel the same as Deb!

    The picture is of Old Faithful Inn. In back is Old Faithful Geyser. Sept. 18, 1870 members of the Washburn-Langford Doane Expedition traveled down the Firehole River and entered the Upper Geyser Basin. The first geyser they saw was Old Faithful. It was named this because at regular intervals it would spout—thus the name.
