[Geysers] Pathetic Little Hole

[barger]

It was a steady jet and it lasted over a minute.  (Long enough for me to stop my bike and sit there debating with Doug on whether it was Plume, Anemone, and that it was lasting way too long.  I spent more time digging around for my camera and just when I was ready to snap the photo, it quit.  Kitt

    On Oct 23 both Kit Barger and Doug Holstein saw a geyser erupt
    on Geyser Hill which they could not identify.  It was 20-25 feet tall 
    but seemed to last too long to be Plume (about 40 seconds).  
  Inquiring minds would like to know some more about this eruption (as well, of course, anything about continuing and future action):
  -- Was the play a steady jet, or bursting? Since it seemed "too long to be Plume," I gather that there must of been some sort of intermittency within the eruption itself.
  -- Was the duration of this geyser 40 seconds, or is the above saying that it seemed longer than Plume's 40 seconds?
  -- How wide is the runoff channel?
  -- The minor eruptions on October 24 were "frequent." You guessed the question: Is that seconds; minutes? And what sort of durations of the minors?

  Congratulations to the observers.
