[Geysers] Bear Den Photo

[Mike Keller]

Attached is the best photo of Bear Den Geyser that I could find in my
collection.  I took the photo in October of 1986.  I spent a lot of time at
Norris between 1985 and 1987.  Bear Den was a hard enough geyser to catch
erupting, let alone photograph!  Intervals during these years varied from 90
minutes to 12+ hours and were truly all over the map.  Disturbances didn't
seem to affect it in the mid 1980's.  I saw some eruptions that would have
only 1-2 bursts from it (these would last about 15 seconds) and then there
would be others that would have 30+ bursts (these would last about 8
minutes) and reach 40-50 feet.  I am not sure when it went completely
dormant, but it was dead by 1994.
