>From what Scott is saying and what I and others have seen this year, I would
agree with Scott.  I hope the video will be available at some point to be
seen.

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.
