Scott - I would go with the one circled in grey in the attachment, close to
the boardwalk on the inside of the loop between Depression and Scissor
Spring.  It could be one of the objects to the left of the grey circle too,
hard to judge the scale of the picture.

 

Link to a picture of the eruption (it did erupt 6" to a foot higher than
this on some occasions):

The location is shown here, it's the large steaming dark circle on the left:

A bit of a delay in my responding to the below, but now we are pretty well
ensconced into our new address. Attached is a jpg of that part of the USGS
Geyser Hill map in the vicinity of Depression. Can Graham identify the "deep
hole" he saw erupting?

Hanging out at Depression for a lot of the time I saw several eruptions from
the deep hole on the opposite side of the boardwalk between Depression and
Scissor Spring.  The hole is pretty obvious - the only big one close to the
boardwalk.  It was frequently bubbling/boiling at depth which I think has
been its normal behavior.  Now and then it would heat up and erupt about a
foot above the rim for a few seconds.  It repeated this activity every few
minutes.  I don't remember seeing it do this before.  Sometimes it just
bubbled/boiled for longer periods of time too.
