[Geysers] Challenges/demands for the geyser geek

[Karen Webb]

For Imperial, are they referring to the actual Imperial vent and all 
activity since has been from the side vent that currently erupts? This 
plus Fairy Falls were Paul and my first hike in Yellowstone (from back 
when you could drive to the trailhead below Ojo Caliente), and that was 
the year Scott refers to as the year everyone was surprised to see that 
this lovely geyser had become a small, muddy perpetual spouter. Lucky 
us. (It was far to the right as you stood facing the pool so the mudpots 
were on your left; wondered with 20/20 hindsight if this was the actual 
Imperial vent)

We also struck out for both features based on my saying, "Oh, it's 
*only* three miles, we really don't need to take anything." We took the 
path toward Steel Bridge coming back, so I think it was more like a 7 
mile hike without the amenities like water, sunscreen, bug repellent, 
food. Paul *so* did not talk to me for the rest of the day.

But seriously, has activity except for 1928-9 technically been a vent 
*in* Imperial's pool and not Imperial itself?
