[Geysers] Old Faithful eruption Aug 1st 0224pm webcam

[Freund, Udo]

But, of course, steam explosions such as Plume, Black Diamond or many
others could never happen near Old Faithful.  There is a small erupting
vent to the east of OF's vent.  I've seen it and I assume a few of you
have also.  So far I have not seen it erupt more than a foot or so on
the webcam (height is difficult to gauge).  It's best viewed when the
wind is blowing downbasin, usually in the morning.  Therefore I suggest
that we continue to observe this feature and keep an open mind about
such things.  I would certainly appreciate a YouTube video of it be
posted.  No rush.

Thanks,
Udo Freund

Thank goodness that Dave got this and we can put this utterly silly
notion to rest.

The thought that there was a vent near OF that erupts over 100 feet
high, but has no discernable steam before or after OF plays, has no
preplay, has no surface evidence of its existence, and only erupts when
the wind occasionally blows OF's ejected water in its direction, was
ludicrous.

So thanks, Dave!

The still picture is deceiving.  It is showing the water falling to the
ground from the eruption of Old Faithful.  Take a look at the included
photo and then watch the video.
