[Geysers] Geyser report August 27 and 28

[Karl and Lori Hoppe]

Scott-

Thanks for the Shoshone summary.  I have attached a
picture of what I think is what you describe as
Rototiller.   We thought it was something else - don't
have my notes with me.  The description sounds quite a
bit like it, though.  

Come to think of it, I don't think I ever posted a
summary of our trip to Shoshone from mid-July.

No real difference in activity - I agree with a
disappointing Double and we had similar intervals in
Bead.  If I can find my notes (basement is quite
disheveled due to the recent rain and flooding in the
area) I'll post what the known closed intervals were.

I'd appreciate confirmation, if you, Jeff, Tara, or
others that were there can identify the attached
picture as Rototiller or some other feature.

Thanks!

Karl Hoppe
