[Geysers] Geyser Report-Norris June 1

[Smokey]

Hi Mike,

Is this the same kind of activity we saw from Monarch in '94 and '95??  
And... is it active from all three vents like then?
Just curious if we are getting a repeat of that activity. 
Did you make it to "The Gap" area at all?  I wonder what is still active 
out there.

Take Care,

Smokey
