[Geysers] Teapot Geyser activity

Karl:  I noticed that also, about a week ago.  It is small, with oblique
splashing, right?

For all you lovers of little geysers...

While keeping an eye on the streaming cam during Beehive's window, I have
occasionally seen water splashing on what first appeared to be the downhill
side of Beehive, but then later was obviously on the Old Faithful side of
the river.  Looking back at the geyser list archives, there was a discussion
of the location of "Teapot Geyser" back in May 2008.  I've attached a webcam
shot marking the approximate location - though it's almost impossible for me
to get a shot that shows water...

So is this Teapot?  And if so, was it active last year?  Scott Bryan had
mentioned in one of his posts in May 2008, "I actually have not seen Teapot
in eruption in a very long time."

It was determined that it was NOT Teapot that was being seen on the webcam
in May 2008, but rather Split Cone (different location than what is marked
on attached image).
