Given that Geyser Hill also boasts Midget and Pygmy plus other small things like Cub and "Kitten," I think the name is fitting. Note, though, that in my book I show that name and any more specific name within the group within quotes.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>That said, I wholeheartedly agree with Micah and Lee that no additional naming should be done within that cluster.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> <DIV>In a message dated 12/15/2014 5:55:21 P.M.

Vents break out and get re-sintered over every year. While the current "Dwarf" erupting 90% of the time has shown that it's definitely more "stable" than the other vents in the complex. I would not put my chips down as to whether that would remain the case, the same goes for the Dwarf seen erupting near the boardwalk. Thus I agree that we should refrain from naming individual vents when they could be gone within a year. </DIV> <DIV dir=ltr><BR></DIV> <DIV dir=ltr>Just my thoughts on the matter</DIV><SPAN class=HOEnZb><FONT color=#888888> <DIV></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> <DIV>Micah Kipple <BR>Enjoy the Little Things! <BR></DIV></DIV></FONT></SPAN></DIV></DIV><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Geysers mailing list<BR><A title=mailto:Geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu href="mailto:Geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu">Geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu</A><BR><A title=https://lists.wallawalla.edu/mailman/listinfo/geysers href="https://lists.wallawalla.edu/mailman/listinfo/geysers" target=_blank>https://lists.wallawalla.edu/mailman/listinfo/geysers</A><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV></DIV><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Geysers mailing list<BR>Geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu<BR>https://lists.wallawalla.edu/mailman/listinfo/geysers</FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
