[Geysers] GPS coordinates

[Mike Keller]

All,

>From 1997-2001 the NPS did an extensive project mapping and cataloging the
thermals of the main geyser areas.  They avoided most out of the way
nameless backcountry areas but those listed by Scott were taken.  On most
days an experienced geyser gazer was with the group.  Steve Miller compiled
and oversaw the project.  He works in Mammoth.

Scott, several years ago a survey was being done to GPS all (or most YNP 
thermal features).  This data maybe available and includes very accurate 
GPS data. I suggest talking to Mike Keller about this information and who 
to contact to get GPS data for the features you want and others.
