Has any one on the list visited the Hot Creek geothermal area since the reported appearance of geysers and subsequent closure of the swimming area?

"Hot Creek Geological Site: Due to increased geologic activity, swimming is prohibited. Please come see the geysers, mud pots, and other changes. 3 geysers have been shooting off periodically for the past year. The latest development in Hot Creek was a 150 foot section that started boiling over night in October 2006. More information from the US Geological Survey web site at http://lvo.wr.usgs.gov/ "

"The sudden appearance of spouting geysers and bubbling hot springs in the middle of a shallow river near the High Sierra resort town of Mammoth Lakes (Mono County) has caused Inyo National Forest officials to close the area and ban swimming there."        June 28, 2006
