[Geysers] Electronic logbooks and Miscellaneous (Stephens)

[Lynn Stephens]

I just sent the electronic versions of the OFVC logbooks for 1996 and 1995 
to Don Might for posting on the GOSA website.  Hopefully I attached the 
correct files and the files were complete.  They should be available for 
your perusal in a few days.

Answers to two questions I've been asked recently:

1.  Size of Great Fountain's crater--according to Marler, the dimensions are 
13.5 x 19.5 feet and it had been plumbed to a depth of 42 feet.

2.  RV's running generators in parking lots:  Quiet hours, 10 pm to 6 am 
apply but other wise there are no prohibitions against running generators in 
parking lots.

Reporting geyser times:

I would encourage you to report any geyser time you have.  Recording even 
just one time for a particular geyser will tell researchers 50 years from 
now that "Yes, that geyser was active that day, week, or month."

Lemon Spring:  In all my trips to Great Fountain Geyser, I had always seen 
Lemon Spring full and overflowing.  This morning when I went out for the 
morning eruption of Great Fountain, Lemon Spring was down below overflow 
about 4 inches.  After Fountain's eruption, when I went back to try to get 
the start of Pink Cone (I was too late and Pink Cone was ie), Lemon Spring 
had refilled to overflow.

Thad and Pat Nelson arrived yesterday and will be here through early August 
and will be doing the daytime Great Fountain eruptions.  It's certainly good 
to have them back this year.

I'm leaving the Park this evening to take my week's vacation from the 
geysers.  I'll be in the Old Faithful area part of that week, but will have 
my 4-year-old granddaughter with me so won't be doing much geyser gazing.
