[Geysers] A Glimpse Into The Past (Fountain Hotel)

[Karen Webb]

 From Karen Webb
    Reading through some web entries to understand better exactly where 
the hotel was, I came across a reference to something called "Dewey" 
Geyser that apparently played 200-300 feet high and was located 
somewhere to the north of the hotel.  Can Scott or Lee or anybody who 
knows geyser and park history well tell me if this geyser is something 
that's still around?  The description sounds a bit like Morning but the 
location sounds more like the Thud group (although the article addressed 
this group separately and described all these literary names like 
Evangeline geyser).  Help?
