[Geysers] Fountain-area report 7/7,7/9,7/12

[Kurtis Hoppe]

I was able to watch my brother's video, and despite being absent from the park for a few years and possibly rusty in geyser identification, I'm pretty sure that these eruptions came from the right hand portion of a pool in front of Deep Blue.  After reading Scott's descriptions of K12 and K13, I would have to say it was K13.  The eruption seemed to be more "fan-like" in nature without many vertical jets.  However,  this is only going by the two descriptions in Scott's post.

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.
