Are you  saying there was another active vent as part of Castle that
became inactive  about 1861, or there was a different geyser near Castle
that is no longer  active, or are you just pulling out leg?  Interesting
that the indians  measured so accurately in meters.



Actually, though obviously there is no vent (active or dead) on that side  of 
Castle, John Railey swore that he once saw an eruption at about that exact  
place, as viewed from Grand. We think he must have seen something out in the  
Myriad Group...
 
As for that Indian measurement, they had some difficulties, as they 1) had  
to convert from their local unit of measurement to meters (1197.43x = meters),  
which they probably had learned from some Viking trapper in the 1100s; and 2) 
 needed to use a cherry-picker sort of thing (boy, you should have seen THAT  
contraption) to reach up to the top of the water column. Which, by the way, 
was  cold.
 
Yes. Summer will get here. Won't it?
