[Geysers] Geyser Hill erupter ID'd

[Stjohn, James]

This is a follow-up on the mystery geyser I saw last week.

Based on a suggested ID sent to me (thanks!), the Geyser Hill erupter I witnessed via webcam on 25 September 2014 was likely Roof Geyser.  I used sightlines from the OF webcam to known features on Geyser Hill satellite images and compared the location of Roof Geyser with a partial webcam still of the feature in question, just after a minor eruption that evening.  It is consistent with Roof Geyser.  I've modified my posted eruption observations on geysertimes.org accordingly.

If folks want to keep an eye on it, it looks like it's just below and just to the left of the boardwalk sign to the right of the Lion Complex bench.  Seeing it play is a first for me - cool!

Best,
