[Geysers] Return of Fan and Mortar

[David Monteith]

Based on Beatrice's report, I went back and looked at the web camera
recordings from June 9.  On that day, four steam clouds were visible in
the Riverside/F&M area.  

Three were probably Riverside (0512, 1118 and 1716).  Each was at the
correct location, had the typical start look, had the correct interval
and at least for the first and last, had the correct duration.

The fourth steam cloud occurred at 0927.  It lasted approximately 9
minutes and behaved like F&M.
