I'm a Norwegian tourist who spent a night in Green River in July '09. The geyser was recommended to me by the local staff at the Motel 6, and I went out there to take some pics. The geysir didn't erupt while I was there, but I got me a mighty purdy sunset over the river.
If your going south of Wellington toward Green river Jr. You can turn off the highway somewhere on the left and see another Geyser that this video missed. Anyone got the GPS cords? These would make good virtual Geocaches.
Yup, co2 build-up underground in water-saturated limestone,erupting intermitantly like a hot gerser and since it takes a lot of co2 to power it, it only erupts occasionaly.
Incidently, crystal erupts from an old abandoned wildcat well-head. Must have originally drilled into very watery rock with a concentration of co2 down there!!
i duno bout tumbleweed in where it is located, but i know that crystal is th party hole and champagne is the bomb fro riding dirt bikes got bad ass jumps, btw, i live in green river :)
This is not some stunt rigged up in someone's back yard. I put in on the Green River in 1997 and just missed an eruption. The ground around was still wet. I don't know all the science to it, but I believe the eruptions result from a build up of CO2 in the limestone. Thanks for posting. Most people are not adventurous enough to get to these spots but this might spark an interest.
1:05 Pretty suggestive eh? :P

I went to this place some years back. It errupts every few hours. It goes 50 to 100 feet in the air, maybe more.
It was a hot day when I was in the area, so I put my bottle of water in the geysers pool to keep it cool.... GOOD TIMES!!
