A separate  area:  on 18 July I saw that the pools upslope from Artemisia 
were down  maybe 4-6"; also Wave Spring has lowered some too, on 22 July it was  
maybe an inch or so down from its normal.  Have others seen this  earlier?


The pools upslope from Artemisia -- that is, across the old road and up the  
hill, consisting of Iron Spring, the  larger of the two and which evidently 
had a few eruptions up to 4 feet high  following the 1959 earthquake, and “
Tomato Soup Spring,” so called  during the late–1920s -- always tend to lower 
their water levels as the season  progresses. In general, too, I think the boiling 
(or maybe it is just bubbling)  simultaneously grows stronger as the levels 
drop. what surprises me is Carolyn  stating that on 18 July these springs had 
levels down just 4 to 6 inches. I cold  swear that 2 to 3 weeks ago, those 
levels were down at least 12 inches. Well...  I'll be able to take another look in 
a couple of weeks.
