[Geysers] North Goggles not seen the last 3 hours of today 2/13/12

[David Schwarz]

   No argument here.

   I suspect that the Frog Pond / Frog Geyser names may have used in one or
more summary reports to the Park Service in the mid-to-late '90s (not
mine), so future researchers should be aware of which features were being
referenced if they run into them.
