[Geysers] Geyser Report Saturday, August 4, 2012

[Barbara Lasseter]

There was a feature in eruption at Fountain Paint Pots at 0454 this AM
that was not Fountain--Morning, Maybe??  Fountain erupted at 1055.  On
Fri 8/3 it erupted at 2131 d=49.

The sign that read "North Goggle Geyser" has been replaced with one
that reads "North Goggles Geyser".

Still 25mph on W entrance road and no lines painted.  The pullout
across from the end of Daisy trail is still blocked by cones, and the
trail toward Biscuit closed from there.

The car in front of me ran down a snowshoe hare between Biscuit and
Black Sand this AM.  An hour later as I drove back by, the hare was
gone without a trace.

Plume continues to gurgle deep in the cone, but no eruption since 1121
on 8/1 per a review of the webcam tapes.
