Mustard Spring

Nothing too exciting, just another spring/geyser in the Biscuit Basin.  Mustard is actually two connected spring/geysers, with an east and a west hole located about 50 feet apart.  They have historically changed between springs and geysers, with one pool typically being an actively erupting geyser, and the other pool simply being a non-erupting spring.  West Mustard was the most active up until 1983, until a small earthquake hit.  After this event, East Mustard acted like a geyser while West Mustard went to a non-erupting spring.
