Was there ever any closure on this?  I spent some time at West Thumb 
last week while on an all-too-brief trip (9/15-19), and the ranger on 
scene didn't know anything about a Twin eruption and doubted that one 
had occurred.  Twin was certainly the most energetic that I have ever 
seen it, with continuous heavy boiling, but that was about all.  The 
rest of the basin struck me as quieter than it had been at the same 
time of year in 2007.
