It's that all too familiar smell of rotten egg, and orange mess that plagues my town. And I love it. It's blamed as being "sulfur water" but critical analyzation shows sulfur in the gas, and trace amounts in the water. There is a sulfur odor, but mineral analysis of the water consistently shows almost no presence of dissolved sulfur. The sulfur is in the form of the gas hydrogen sulfide, which degasses from the water very quickly....
The orange scaly mess is travertine or tufa. I'm no geologist but I have been known to rock out!!!
