[Geysers] Map of Giant Platform

Phoenix and Whistle are two separate vents.  Phoenix used to erupt in hot
periods in the late 1980's and was buried.  It is the bubbling area in the
large pool of water that frequently stands to the front and right of Giant.
Whistle in on the far south (right) side of the Platform.

   For whatever it's worth, I _think_ the vent labeled "Phoenix" is what we
used to call "Whistle," and if so, it has the distinction of being one of
the few vents active even during some of Giant's dormancies. 

   Also, in older maps and descriptions, you might find some of the
Southwest Vents separately labeled as "Horizontal" (the largest one) and
"the Squirrel Tails" (the two holes behind it).

I was told that there were several people that wanted a copy of the Giant
Platform.  So here is a copy of one that I found in my notebook from a few
years ago.
