[Geysers] Ott--really unknown geysers

[Karen Webb]

I usually embarrass myself with these, but this is an area I know fairly 
well.  1 is Sprite Pool, which cycles and sometimes has small splashes 
and might be more of a periodic hot spring than a geyser (I have heard 
some of the rangers call it "Hot Rod Pool" for a sports car that crashed 
into it, but I don't know if the story is apocryphal).  Anyway, St Scott 
identifies it as Sprite.  2 is Gem Pool, which is just a pool, although 
Calthos Geyser is in the background (Scott has some interesting material 
about Gem not heating up till Marler sandbagged Calthos).  I will say to 
my dying day that when Calthos and nearby Pinto Pool are higher than 
usual is when Artemesia slows down and vice versa, but that's just 
informal observation.  3 *is* Artemesia, but you can see the cones of 
Atomizer in the background.
    The ones that confuse me are the ones farther toward Biscuit Basin 
like Hillside and Biscuit Basin.  Does anyone have photos of them?
