down the trail from North Goggles toward Liberty Pool, is "Rubber Pool" [name,
to me, first heard from Clark Murray]. It is <strong>NOT</strong> Frog Pool.
That term in the plural should be applied only to the group of (now) cool
springs that lie between Liberty and "Rubber Pool," as shown below in the
following quote from Whittlesey's "Wonderland Nomenclature...".</p>

<div> Anyway, "Frog Pool" is the first name I heard for the large
pool with a railing between Liberty Pool and Lion (I've also heard "Rubber
Pool"). "Frog Geyser" is the feature across the boardwalk from it, a
smaller pool with an oblong vent. The eruptions I saw consisted of heavy
boiling and minor splashing over the vent, with very murky
water.</div></font></blockquote></div></div></font></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>
