[Geysers] Speaking of odd geysers...

[Clark murray]

Pat Snyder and I were down there last week and it is in a  very sad state. Terraces are dried out and crumbling. There is some activity, however, we did not see an eruption. Intervals are long and eruptions are small compared to the 1990’s. 

The casing has been extended, but the bullet holes and openings at the base have been there for years. They were there in 1990. So repairing them would have little effect I’m afraid.  I have no idea what they have done to the geyser, except filling in the Aragonite Pools with dirt and rocks.

Crystal has been increasing it’s intervals since it was drilled. It may have just reached a point when the co2 levels are not what the use to be. 

     Woodside/Roadside Geyser we were not able to gain access, but I here it is not eruption anywhere near like it did in the past.

Has anyone been to the Crystal Geyser area lately that can update us? Specifically, does anyone know if the damage done to the pipe with what looks like bullets (?) been fixed. If not, would one need permission to patch the pipe, and what would you do it with? We're not that far and wouldn't mind fixing this annoying man-made damage so the poor little thing can once again attain some height. Maybe if all the Utah gazers could set aside a long weekend (I guess I blew it not trying to round people up for UEA) and someone knowledgeable could guide us in our efforts, we could return it to its former state of niceness? I know the intervals are long enough that some sort of metal spackling-type agent could be applied, neatened up, and probably dried between eruptions.
