[Geysers] New Mexico "geyser"

[TSBryan at aol.com]

Jere and all,
 
I have no description beyond what I posted. However, per Google Earth, this 
 coordinate is a short distance north of I-40 whereas my description would 
have  it some 8 miles south of the freeway (or at least, south of the 
railroad). So...  My guess is that this is/was an artesian thing and/or gassy. I 
know there was  also a "geyser" not far from Crystal, on the Navajo 
Reservation close to the  Arizona border, that was definitely an artesian well that 
quit working many  years ago.

Pretty  sad around Tucson this evening, but....
 

 
I  read in a book about Navajo place names that there is/was a feature 
called  "The Geyser" (Navajo name roughly To Alchini = "Wild Water"), located in 
 Valencia County "8 miles south of Correo" (Correo maybe being the same as  
Suanee, on I-40 (?) ).
 

 
Any  New Mexicanos have any info about such a thing?
