[Geysers] Teapot Geyser activity

[Paul Strasser]

The geyser I saw erupting on the slope was almost directly in line between
the streaming webcam and Beehive's cone.  (When I saw it, the camera was
zoomed in some on the Cone.)  The arrowed location in the image Derek
attached is much farther to the east (the right).  And the water I saw was
1-2 feet high, although it's admittedly difficult to gauge height from a
feature whose actual location and distance from the camera isn't precisely
known - I'm basing it more on the way the water splashed.

Hi there
Attached is a picture sent by Scott Bryan to the mailing 
list about a year ago.
It can not be seen from the cam because it is too far down 
behind the ridge
and it is further to the right of what you saw.

Hope that helps
