[Geysers] To David Schwarz and anyone else interested from Lee Whittlesey

[Lee_Whittlesey at nps.gov]

David---I do not have your personal e-mail address but to answer your
question---the "Dewey Geyser" photo is in Olin Wheeler, WONDERLAND '99, p.
19, according to my cardfile. Admiral John Dewey was constantly in the news
during that period, hence the name.

The Jackson photo that you sent---isn't it Penta Geyser?

If I visualize boardwalks in the bottom photo (link), I picture Penta with
Spaz in the background.

I remember Phil Landis took a photo of either Big Cub or Lioness back in
the late 1980s. He was working for Rick Hutchinson at the time. I remember
seeing this photo somewhere in print and it looked like a Lion eruption. I
just can't remember if it was Lioness or Big Cub.

    Do you guys do requests?  I've always wanted to see a picture of
 Lioness in eruption.  I've seen several old photos with the pool boiling
 and overflowing (such as
 http://libraryphoto.cr.usgs.gov/cgi-bin/show_picture.cgi?ID=ID.%20Jackson,%20W.H.%20%20192
  and
 http://libraryphoto.cr.usgs.gov/cgi-bin/show_picture.cgi?ID=ID.%20Jackson,%20W.H.%20%20193
  -- I think these are Lioness, yeah?), but have yet to see photographic
 evidence that it actually erupts.

    Also, several years ago I saw a picture of Daisy's Thief labeled "Dewey
 Geyser."  It was a black-and-white print, I think in a book or report, but
 I've forgotten where.  If I remember correctly, there was some note with
 the picture about how Spelendid had recently become quiet but "Dewey" had
 stepped up to take its place.  Anyone know the source?  It's the only
 picture I've ever seen of it.

    Speaking of mystery geysers, here's a fun one from the USGS archives
 that I wasn't aware Jackson had photographed:

    Try to picture it with a bunch of boardwalk and you may have an easier
 time identifying it.
