[Geysers] Radiator????

[David Schwarz]

   This is Bank Geyser.

   Radiator is in the flat above Bonita Pool (toward Daisy).  That's where
the parking lot used to be, if you can imagine.  As far as I know, the last
time it had any significant activity was while Splendid was active in 1997.

   Here's a photo of Daisy showing part of the road / parking area, from
the Yellowstone Slide File:

   Here's another with cars:
