There  was a geyser erupting to 15-20 feet near Deep Blue/Drain, and I was 
not able  to identify it. Kitt told me that it was Deep Blue #12, and this was 
the only  day of the three that it was seen to be active. It had seen eruptions 
 consisting of 2-3 bursts at 1130, 1309, and 1405. 


 
What puzzles me here is the stated location of "near Deep Blue/Drain". K12  
and K13 are immediately in front of the big blue pool of Deep Blue, and most  
definitely not at all toward Drain (left of Deep Blue). Also, the stated  
intervals are not right for either K12 or K13, which tend to have eruptions in  
series with intervals of only a few minutes.
 
So the question is: Was Ben's geyser in front of OR to the left of Deep  Blue?
 
If the geyser was in front of Deep Blue, then:
If it had essentially vertical jets (slight angles allowable), then  it was 
Kaleidoscope #12 (_not_ Deep Blue #12 -- we are  talking Kaleidoscope Group). 
On the other hand, if the geyser had  distinctly angled (to the left, or south) 
fan-like bursts, the it was  Kaleidoscope #13. (I hope that Mike Keller check 
me on the above.  Thanks!)
 
If the geyser was to the left of Deep Blue, then it could have been any of  
several things... including Drain!

P.S. So far this year, I've seen K13 many times but, so far as I can  recall, 
I haven't seen K12 even once.
