Yellowstone's Handkerchief Pool: When tourists used a geyser as a laundry machine
Yellowstone National Park once had a unique attraction called Handkerchief Pool, where visitors would drop handkerchiefs into the water and watch them vanish and resurface. The pool's natural churning action made it function like a makeshift washing machine, drawing curious tourists for years. Its activity came to an abrupt halt in 1926 after a log became lodged in the pool and disrupted its flow. A cleanup effort in 1929 recovered 1.5 bushels of debris from the pool, including more than 100 hairpins, coins, and a horseshoe.
