[Geysers] Pebble Geyser

[David Schwarz]

I suspect that this is the location of a vent that was cleaned out in 1993
by volunteers and Resource Management.  See this video:

The hole is in the foreground around 2:35 to 2:45, among other parts of the
video.  After it was cleared, it filled to within a few inches of overflow
with very hot water.

It's been gradually getting filled back in with gravel since then.  I can't
remember the last time I even noticed a depression there.

So anyone who's actually seen the new activity, is this the same location?
