But I think doing so again won't hurt anything. The "new", briefly active geyser near "Rediscovered Geyser" at Norris certainly is "new" as a historically known geyser. However, it does bear an informal name that, in my opinion, bears priority.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>This is "Forgotten Fumarole", so named at least as early as the late-1970s (but sometime after 1974) at the same time that Rediscovered and some others were given names. That was in the days when Fred Hirschmann was stationed at Norris and (wisely, I suppose) replaced such names as "Hodie's Hole" with Dabble, "Butch" with Orby, "Scottie's Spouter" with Rediscovered, and so on. (Fortunately, I don't think he changed "Pfred's Pfanstasic Pfumarole", though.)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So black water or no, 't isn't Geyser Noir. Sorry.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV></BODY></HTML>
