Detailed Description

This feature, not far from Old Faithful, has never been known to truly erupt. It gets its name from adjacent Chinaman Spring, which received its name because a concessioner (who might have been of Japanese descent) in the early days of the park used that spring as a laundry. One particular laundry day, the spring erupted and scattered clothing across the surroundings.
