[Geysers] New feature by Plume

[TSBryan at aol.com]

Well, once again I seem to have posted something to the geysers list  
(yesterday) and today others have apparently seen it but I have not. Ah,  well.
 
Anyhow, thank you, Pat, for posting your photos. However, they absolutely  
and positively do not show Clastic Geyser, and I certainly have never used  
that name for this feature. As far as I am concerned, you can use your name, 
 "Fandango," as an informal name. (For purposes of my book, which likely is 
still  at least a year from a new edition, I am putting this name into the 
text, and  also identifying it as UNNG-GHG-14),
 
Attached is a slightly enlarged JPG of the USGS map of Geyser Hill. I have  
placed two arrows on it. One points at the name of Clastic.  You will see  
that Clastic is way on up across the central part of Geyser Hill. The other, 
 angled arrow, points at, or at least to the area of, "Fandango"/the thing 
in  Pat's photos, and which a number of years ago was erroneously identified 
as  Borah Peak Geyser. It might be represented by the circle right below 
the word  "boiler," but more likely is a bit to the left of that.

P.S. As I have pointed out in the past, on these USGS maps, most of the  
names (and all of them in this case) were written by Dr. Donald E. White with  
the assistance of George Marler.
 
P.P.S. I just might post this to Facebook, too, since there are problems  
with the listserv.

Hi Everyone, 
Here are my photos of what I called Fandango in 2011,  but apparently is 
really Clastic Geyser on Geyser Hill (name sourced by Scott  Bryan, so I 
heard). It is up the sinter shoulder from Copper Kettle. It erupts  from a crack 
in the sinter, and has quite a runoff channel. I have seen it  erupt for as 
long as five minutes, and sometimes in series, when I have waited  for 
Beehive. I now understand it has been added to Geyser Times, so hopefully  we can 
get some observations on it this year, if it is active. Sadly, these  
photos were taken between eruptions of Plume Geyser. I miss Plume.
