As I said I'd do, I pored through my old photos and, while I found many
showing Anemone in eruption, none show the old north vent doing anything.
As for Jeff's question #2, I don't think this can be answered, for a number
of reasons. For one thing, what is "recovery"? Even given some sort of
definition there, virtually all geysers (and maybe really ALL) are connected
with others, so that there will be variations to their "refractory periods."
And how might you handle the "recovery" of a geyser that's had its last
eruption going into a dormancy (Giant; Link; Splendid...). For examples.

1) We've been discussing Anemone Geyser... Does anyone have a photograph
of the sealed-in northern vent in eruption?
2) What is the *slowest* geyser in the Park to recover following an
eruption, in terms of water level rise? Every geyser has a refractory period
following an eruption. For most geysers, this takes minutes or hours. But
for some geysers, this can be days long.
