Was GG closed last year at Christmas?  I thought they kept it open.

It was opened because I remeber I was with choir and one of the girls hit a little kid in the face with a ball. It was an accident, but the kid still cried. Then we were standing by Lake Silver waiting for the rest of our group and the same girl starting singing and dancing and made another little kid cry. She's not very good with children lol

It was closed on my day there, but it was beginning to sleet, and ice over, I am sure it was to protect us from an area that had not been salted/ cleaned.

So on my second visit today, the tall wooden fence is completely gone, and instead there were two wooden benches, and a chain style rope preventing access to the area.

I overheard another citizen state that the area should be back open fully by Saturday. The plot thickens!

^^^ You can still post to the SDC Facebook. One person's question about Geyser Gulch did get answered, but only to say they would get back to them (which they never seem to do).

That's crazy that the tall wooden fence is already gone. Why put up an enormous fence like that just to take it down again so quickly? Maybe they didn't count on people assuming that the area was being permanently closed off? It certainly looked like it was.

Oh well, I guess this means they were just cleaning up the place after all. This probably happens more often than we realize.

There was a "maintenance" issue, and they most likely didn't want the general public watching the work being done.  GG is not going away anytime soon.  That's all I can say :)

There is no doubt that GG needs an upgrade, an overhaul, or a REPLACEMENT.

I'd be pleased to see a fence.

Coaster, I'm wondering why you have a phone next to Re: Geyser Gulch - CLOSED and everybody else has a square?
