[Geysers] Speaking of the Fourth Group

[Ralph Taylor]

Some years ago another volunteer and I were mapping weeds in the Lower Basin
and visited the springs southeast of Tank Spring.  The whole hillside is a
wet, boggy place.  There were numerous seeps and a few small flowing springs
but no evidence of recent or not-so-recent activity other than warm water
flowing.

and the Firehole area... I have often wondered what the "Old Geyser" is on
Bechler "Lower Geyser Basin" map.  En route to looking up something else...

I'm sort of sorry it was only a snip of Bechler's map. (Question: is that
1871?)
 
Old Geyser -- It looks to me as if it must be one of those several springs
that are southeast of the Pink Cone area, across Tangled Creek, and beyond
and upslope of the Tank. I've often looked over there to where there are
quite a few features but I've never seen any action.
 
It's pretty clear, too, that % Minute Spouter is today's Artesia Geyser.
 
Thanks. Always fun.
