[Geysers] Two Questions

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.
