I meant to send in a brief report on Norris after a couple of visits at the beginning of July. One of my main observations was that I couldn't seem to find Ledge's main vent. The jut of rock that used to be above it was definitely missing, and I got the impression that the hillside above and next to it (toward Guardian) had kind of slumped into the vent. I took some high-res closeup photos of it to try to convince myself one way or another, but until I saw Mike's photo, I thought I might have been imagining it. There was also a lot of erosion around what we used to call the "Red Vent" (biggest finger, which I assume is the tallest jet in the picture) that almost looked like a new vent forming. I'll post some pictures and whatever else I can put together from my notes later--I currently don't have access to either.
