<DIV>River Growler. The force of the steam emission varies some but it is steady
and I, at least, have never seen a trace of liquid water coming from it (other
than steam condensate, of course). Here is Whittlesey's brief entry from
_Wonderland Nomenclature_.</DIV>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Note that I will argue against
saying "Castle Group", since this is on the east side of the river. But that's a
picky point. Note, too, that Lee is referring to Terra Cotta Spring, not to the
Terra Cotta geysers that are much closer to the river bridge. Last, that feature
in one of the photos downstream and across the river is Spanker Geyser.</P>

apologize for sitting on this so long - it just completely slipped my mind
until processing more photos from our trip in May of this year. Mike and I
took a walk after dinner and while crossing the bridge by Castle, I noticed
this steaming so powerfully you could easily hear it. That was at 1922 on 18
May 2012. We kept walking and came back up the old road. By the time we
reached it again, it was still powerfully steaming - maybe even a bit more.
The second photo was taken at 1922.<BR><BR>I can't find any reference that
covers this unnamed thermal feature. Anyone know?
