Mike is right. That is how I remember it too. It was formerly called "Dr.
Jones's Psychedelic Steam Vent." As you might imagine that name came from
the 1960s or early 1970s. I think it was in place before Scott Bryan got to
Norris in 1974.

It's a fumarole, something called "Psychedelic Steam Vent" or the like if I
remember correctly.

Hi folks,

I keep seeing this feature on the hill beyond the Back Basin, and
forgetting to ask someone about it. It's very noticeable, is it a large
fumarole, a geyser, a perpetual spouter? An over-achieving mudpot?
