[Geysers] Geyser Inventory

[TSBryan at aol.com]

I just spent a few idle minutes looking at the "YNP Thermal  Features" 
pages (located at 
_http://www.rcn.montana.edu/resources/features/features.aspx?nav=11_ (http://www.rcn.montana.edu/resources/features/features.aspx?nav=11)  
)  and I must express some disappointment. I hope this finds its way to 
those  responsible for the accuracy of that information. Which right now is 
more than a  little bit faulty.
 
Westside Group -- no feature whatsoever is named.  UWGNN7 is Fantail  
Geyser; 10 is Carapace; 13 is "Fracture"; 14 is Bigfoot; 18, 19 and 20 might be  
"Maelstrom, but the website has the same photo on all three of these; 23 is  
YM-210 (aka South Pool)
 
Giant Group -- this includes NOthing that actually is part of the Giant  
Group -- all shown features are in the Grotto Group or Riverside (and maybe a  
couple that belong to the Chain Lakes Group):
#3 is Indicator Spring, not "Grotto Pressure Pool"
#9 is Startling Geyser, not Startle.
 
I know this is supposed to be an on-going project -- but it has been put  
out there for the public and it is horribly full of errors and  inaccuracies. 
Yellowstone N P should be embarrassed by it.

P.S. Since it seems to not be included as part of the Giant Group, I did a  
search for Giant Geyser. Nope. Doesn't exist, apparently. Like I said -- 
that  site sucks.
