[Geysers] Geyser in the Kaleidoscope area

[Mike Keller]

The geyser in this photograph is #12.  It is the largest geyser I have seen
in the Kaleidoscope area, with a couple of eruptions in the early 1990's
easily reaching 140+ feet.  I have found reports of it erupting in 1973,
1979, 1981, and 1982.  I first saw it active in 1991, and it has been active
on and off over the past 15 years.

Hi folks1

This is a geyser I saw in 1981 on a visit to the Kaleidoscope area as a
volunteer.At the time we called it an auxiliary vent of Deep Blue Geyser,
which was descriptive of the location more than anything else. It reminded
me of a smaller version of Grand, in the way the jets of water whizzed
upwards in sharp needles. I'm not sure if anyone has seen it erupt since,
so I was wondering if Mike Keller or anyone else has seen it, and were the
eruptions we saw the first anyone noticed, and if not, is this a named
feature?
