[Geysers] Geyser Report 1-06-06

[Udo Freund]

I find it hard to believe that the 80-100' height mentioned is 
accurate.  There is nothing to compare to in that setting, making such 
judgments difficult at best.  Try imagining an 8 to 10 story building 
out there.  Not easy, is it?  If a comparison was made from the overlook 
I'd say the 80' estimate bears more merit (better perspective), but less 
if from the b'walk near Fountain.  Misjudging by a factor of 2 or 3 
seems rather much but not entirely impossible.  Or is something truly 
new going on out there?  Did John or anyone else take photos?  Can 
anyone corroborate this?  CSI, no GSI (Geyser ...) YNP to be continued, 
I hope.  (c;)

>Interesting.  There is no way the main crater of Morning erupted.  If the activity was from "Morning's Thief" then it is something that has never been seen from it before.  There was the usual wash around "MT"s vent on 1/07, but nothing to indicate it erupted "80 to 100 feet".  "MT" has been seen several times this winter by coach drivers and snowmobile guides, but never reported to a height greater than 5 to 10 feet.  However, it did have an eruption to about 30 feet seen last summer so who knows!  All I can say again is the main crater of Morning did not erupt and has not since April of 1994.
