Comment that I cannot resist, regarding location/source of this cone. If 
(maybe a big "if") we presume that this place is Geyser Springs, and if "we ran a 
wagon as far as possible" but that that left men to trek nearly two miles, 
then the source of this cone was NOT on or near a road, however primitive.

If not on or near a road, then it was not Oblique Geyser. Avalanche maybe, 
but not Oblique.

Sorry.
