[Geysers] Geyser report Monday 6-30-08

[TSBryan at aol.com]

1. It sounds like Shell is normal -- watch it over a span of a few hours,  
and I'll bet the cycles result in gradually longer fills with gradually higher  
water levels and stronger splashing.
 
2. Jewel sounds normal, too.
 
3. Avoca sounds like it might have weakened some since I was there, as I  
never saw an interval longer than about 1 1/2 minutes.
 
4. And that last geyser has to be Slit (Silver Globe" need not be part of  
the name). I saw just one eruption this year. It had (in my experience) a very  
long duration, as Barbara saw, but it still reached 8 to 10 feet high, so 
maybe  it is weakening, too. If it is AND Avoca is, too, I might expect to see a 
higher  water level in Silver Globe (which is the deep pool right at the corner 
of the  boardwalk); is it higher?

Shell Spring is performing on a continuous cycle of splashing fill  and drain.
Jewel Geyser was erupting briefly every 6-7minutes,  but continues to have 
mostly low splashing and some very brief  taller bursts.
Avoca: erupting every 45sec to 4 minutes with max burst reaching as  little 
as 1 foot to as much as 8 feet. 
Across the boardwalk in the Silver Globe area, the southernmost  feature 
(most distant from boardwalk) erupted twice, maybe 2 feet  high, (ie on arrival) 
at approx 40min interval, d=5min on 2nd  eruption.
