[Geysers] West Flood Geyser

[TSBryan at aol.com]

I seem to have no record as to when West Flood was last active, but it's  
certainly been a long time. But it is active now, though seemingly in a rather  
erratic fashion.
 
This morning on the drive in I saw it in eruption, with bursts maybe 8 or  10 
feet high -- it was very difficult to see due to the steam. Later today,  
apparently, Paul Strasser saw it play to his guess of 6 feet. I therefore  
dcetermined to sit on it for a while this afternoon, and here's what I  saw:
 
1421 overflow ending
 
1438 start overflow, interval unknown
1440 end overflow, no eruption, duration about 2 minutes
 
1453 start overflow, interval about 15 minutes
1459 overflow becomes full flood, boiling visible through binoculars but no  
bursting
1502 end overflow, duration about 9 minutes
 
1512 start overflow, interval about 19 minutes
1518 overflow becomes full flood, a single burst to 3 feet as flood  decreased
1520 end overflow, duration about 8 1/2 minutes
