[Geysers] Speaking of odd geysers...

[Pat Snyder]

Clark is correct! This is what we saw.
Attached are some photos of the area, including one of the filled-in Aragonite Pools and the crumbling terraces, a bad sign that even if it is erupting, it isn't covering the entire area anymore. There was some standing bubbly water in a few terraces leading to the Green River. It might have had overflow or a minor eruption many hours earlier (we guessed between 8 and 12 hours). In addition, the water inside the well rose slightly while we were there, maybe a couple of inches over three hours.
