Above is a geological report from Rico Colorado about geyser springs.  I was there about 12 to 15 years ago, therefore my memory is foggy. I do remember it reminding me of many if the springs in the Mud Volcano area. When I was there the temps were well over 20c

The "boiling" is being driven by some gas other than steam--possibly carbon dioxide, but I sure don't see anything that looks like a carbonate deposit around it.  In fact, I don't see anything that look like deposition around it.
