[Geysers] Pathetic Little Hole

[Karen Low]

David Goldberg said that the runoff channel is about two feet wide and a few inches deep.  He is going to check on it today, since he is off work.  
 
David would also like to propose the name "Improbable Geyser" for it, since anything that can erupt 20-25 feet is hardly pathetic.

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.
