<DIV>Still presuming that this "Nifty" is the same as "UNNG-OTO," then it
probably dates to the early part of the 1980s. My recollection is that the "OTO"
name ("Old Tardy-Oval") originated with (or at least I first heard from)
Ann Deutch. In saying that, I also say "I think."</DIV>

<DIV>Also, in reply to Denise Herman, probably the only decent map of the
Artists Paint Pot area would be in the backcountry things done by Paperiello and
Wolf. Which I have in storage somewhere and cannot retrieve right now.</DIV>

has been pretty active the last few springs, it seems to be more active when
the Sawmill system is in Penta-Churn mode but that is not required. It
can erupt for over an hour several times a day when it is very active. I
think (like Old Tardy) it usually erupts when the rest of the system is in
drain. The times I remember it erupting I also remember Oval Pool being
low. Also, the when Nifty is erupting the new hole between Nifty and the
boardwalk (to the northeast) steams and you can hear if gurgle in the
hole. This hole looks like a buffalo broke through the ground but it may
have other origins. I don't remember how old Nifty is, maybe someone
else has that data. </FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
