[Geysers] Giantess and Krakatoa questions

[Janet Chapple]

Mike--

I have this re. Death Gulch from page 199 of a certain reference book 
(Yellowstone Treasures).

Death Gulch
Up Cache Creek, above where it enters the Lamar River, is an 
interesting hot springs area. Located about 5 miles from the road and 
across the creek from the trail, the area has been called Death Gulch 
since 1888, when geologist Walter Weed discovered that numerous animals 
had died there from inhaling poisonous gases. About 15 years later the 
hot springs in Death Gulch were named Wahb Springs after a fictional 
grizzly bear that met his end there in Biography of a Grizzly by 
self-taught naturalist Ernest Thompson Seton.
