[Geysers] Smokejumper Hot Springs

[Lynn Stephens]

According to Lee Whittlesey (Wonderland Nomenclature) Assistant chief Ranger William S. Chapman assigned the name in 1956 because "the smoke jumpers who jump on forest fires use the thermal areas as a guiding land mark in making their jumps and in coming out from fires."

I sent this earlier, but I wondered if someone could confirm that my pictures are really of Smokejumper Hot Springs (or did I just find some obscure hot pool off in the woods).
 
Does anyone know any history behind the name?
 
Thanks
Stephen
