[Geysers] Geyser report, July 14-30

[TSBryan at aol.com]

Be careful whenever thinking of applying a name to something (as Whittlesey  
will tell you -- there might already be a prior name, even if "forgotten"). I  
don't know for certain if this is correct or not -- I don't think we'll ever  
know -- but my belief is that the "large, multi-vented spring" described here 
is  the feature that was called Azure Lake way back in the 1800s. I have that 
in the  new edition of "the" book. Azure Lake definitely was NOT today's 
Azure  Spring.
 
As for info about the effects of the 1959 earthquake, Marler's Inventory,  of 
course. Some info in my book, yes. But look for USGS Professional Paper 435,  
in which Marler's article was titled "Effects of the Hebgen Lake  
Earthquake........"

"Spectrum Spring" is a name proposed by Jeff Cross for the large,  
multi-vented spring on the flat area east and uphill from Fortress Geyser in  the River 
Group.  Prior to this year it was always the largest hot spring  in the area, 
with runoff flowing off of two sides, towards "Thermopod Geyser"  and also 
towards Fortress.  As of July 24, water was sitting 4 or 5 feet  down within its 
two largest vents, one of the smaller vents on the north side  was a perpetual 
spouter from a low pool, and the rest of the vents were  essentially dry.
