[Geysers] "Nifty" Geyser

[TSBryan at aol.com]

Still presuming that this "Nifty" is the same as "UNNG-OTO," then it  
probably dates to the early part of the 1980s. My recollection is that the "OTO"  
name ("Old Tardy-Oval") originated with (or at least I first heard from)  
Ann Deutch. In saying that, I also say "I think."
 
Also, in reply to Denise Herman, probably the only decent map of the  
Artists Paint Pot area would be in the backcountry things done by Paperiello and  
Wolf. Which I have in storage somewhere and cannot retrieve right now.

Nifty  has been pretty active the last few springs, it seems to be more 
active when  the Sawmill system is in Penta-Churn mode but that is not 
required.  It  can erupt for over an hour several times a day when it is very 
active.  I  think (like Old Tardy) it usually erupts when the rest of the system 
is in  drain.  The times I remember it erupting I also remember Oval Pool 
being  low.  Also, the when Nifty is erupting the new hole between Nifty and 
the  boardwalk (to the northeast) steams and you can hear if gurgle in the  
hole.  This hole looks like a buffalo broke through the ground but it may  
have other origins.  I don't remember how old Nifty is, maybe someone  else has 
that data.
