(just for the record)...Back in the 1970s there were times when Pigmy contained enough water to actually sputter a bit. Maybe it's going to return to glory!

There is a patch of gravel by the board walk in line with Silver Spring and Little Squirt that bubbles up or sometimes sizzl es  when  Little Squirt erupts.   

If this is the spot at the slight bend of the boardwalk to the left toward Anemone, the patch is actually a named feature, Pygmy Geyser (no, really!).

Most of the time it is not noticeable except as a discolored patch of sinter, but when the ground is wet I have sometimes seen steaming and bubbling.
