Clearly, Tilt's Baby is Tilt coming out of a new hole, and that is how it is described; it does not deserve a separate number or description. The Sputniks probably represent energy/water that once upon a time years ago found egress through North Triplet, but they also show a relationship to Rift, and in any case, are removed from these other features by quite a few feet, distances great enough to merit a separate description. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So, as for that thing near Plume, how about using GHG-2, at least for the time being. The reason I dislike putting a name or other designation on it is that I'll be surprised if it becomes a "permanent" feature. Here is my draft write-up for a new edition of my book (which I think-hope will happed during 2017:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 200%"><B><SPAN style='FONT-FAMILY: "Times New Roman"; COLOR: black'>15.

During some seasons in past years, eruptions were frequent and up to 2 feet high, but erosion and sedimentation obliterated the crater. The informal name once given (“Ballcap Geyser”) probably should not be used, since both the green hat within the crater and the spring's vent have disappeared. That geyser was replaced in the early 2000s by another small geyser in the same area. It also disappeared after a brief existence, and now the site bears several flowing vents, any of which can unpredictably undergo small eruptions. Developments in 2015 into 2016 produced a feature that played up to 2 feet high.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV> <DIV>-----------------------------</DIV> <DIV> <DIV>In a message dated 3/16/2016 3:39:21 P.M.

I would agree that holding off on assigning official designations is important, but can we perhaps discuss a common usage name since it is a feature that is getting attention from gazers? Always writing out the phrase “new thing near Plume” seems unnecessary.</DIV></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
