As we were driving to the Malcolm W. Martian Memorial Park my wife said the there is a world-famous fountain at the park. Seeing a couple coming off the Mississippi River Overlook, known as the MRO on park signage, I inquired about the location of the fountain, or The Gateway Geyser. This park is such a well-kept secret that they were the only other people in the park area and it is a big park. They informed me that they did not know that there was a water feature about except for the mighty Mississippi.
I thought there must be some sort of fountain there because the logo of the park was a fountain. Walking up the MRO I was on a sharp lookout for geyser. I was quickly rewarded and saw the structure. I told my wife it must be off for maintenance and she told me that it goes off every three hours.
It was a very hot day and I did not feel like hanging out for an hour and a half in the blazing afternoon sun. I liked this park and looked around as much as I could till the heat got to me. I will go back when it is cooler and at either twelve or three o'clock to watch the geyser.
