<P>and the Firehole area... I have often wondered what the "Old Geyser" is on
Bechler "Lower Geyser Basin" map. En route to looking up something
else... </P></DIV>

<DIV>I'm sort of sorry it was only a snip of Bechler's map. (Question: is that
1871?)</DIV>

<DIV>Old Geyser -- It looks to me as if it must be one of those several springs
that are southeast of the Pink Cone area, across Tangled Creek, and beyond and
upslope of the Tank. I've often looked over there to where there are quite a few
features but I've never seen any action.</DIV>

<DIV>It's pretty clear, too, that % Minute Spouter is today's Artesia
Geyser.</DIV>

<DIV>Thanks. Always fun.</DIV>
