Many tourists wanted to know how deep was the tube of Old Faithful geyser. No one knew the etagere, So I went to Yellowstone Park in Ow winter when the geysers were frozen up. Using an all derrick from Texas I pulled up the icicle out of the tube to measure it. We then planted it in the ground to use as n flagpole, and there it stands today. Sines the flagpole is transparent, the flag flies in mid-air seemingly unsupported.- KARL KREUTZ
