"naegleria fowleri", which i would have known if i'd read the park guide before standing in the steam to shoot these videos. no harm done, luckily. not a place for pets, small children or clumsy adults, one false step could land you in a boiling pit. or a big gust of wind could come along and you could lose your hat in it (i saw this happen, so ... beware!) bison can run
