Andrews Geyser Local geyser. Does not run in the winter but is a pretty cool picnic spot. [Terra, 04/05/2010][RA: That's the thing with a "man-made" geyser -- someone worries about the water bill (and maybe the gas bill, if the water is heated to scalding faux-geyser temperatures).]
Andrews Geyser Andrews Geyser is a man-made geyser built as a tribute to Alexander Andrews of Raleigh. The water is piped several hundred yards down stream from a nearby creek through a fairly large pipe then through a small nozzle to create the geyser. The state marker and the one on site do not agree on the construction date. [Les Parker, 08/10/2003]
