Scott,  was Clepsydra off when you were seeing this? And what was Spasm 
doing?  Just curious. I've never seen water that low in both Fountain 
and  Morning...wow! And Twig in steam phase...very  cool.



In answer to yesterday, Clepsydra was active and Spasm was empty.
 
I didn't say it earlier, so I will now. Today, during the wild phase, I saw  
an eruption by Sizzler... errrr, I mean Super Frying Pan. It seemed sort of  
weak. During about 30 minutes there, there was no eruption by Jet nor by Twig,  
yet Bearclaw's east vent was playing a foot or so high through a standing 
pool  perhaps 2 feet across and draining into the west vent (I think -- it was  
snowing). Spasm and Clepsydra erupted normally. Fun stuff. I'm liking the  
Fountain area more every year.
 
Earlier too, I alluded to the possibility that I won't be in the basin  
tomorrow. WEll, probably I can at least extract some info from the logbook, but  it 
will be rather early in the day. So now I let the cat out of the bag: I will  
be driving one, sometimes two, days per week for Yellowstone Tour Guides (the 
 Holsteins), and tomorrow is a "training" ride-along on the Lower Loop.
