[Geysers] Radiator????

   One more photo, this one from 1950, with a much better view of the
parking area:

   Also, I think I got the direction from Bonita Pool wrong--opposite
direction from Daisy.  Sorry--it's been a while, and even in 1997 it mostly
wasn't big enough to make much of an impression.
