[Geysers] Pebble Geyser

[Karen Webb]

In this area, is Crack the crack the one that's the visible crack in the 
sinter that runs toward White Dome from Cave? It always *sounds* like 
it's doing something, or trying, and I've seen wisps of steam and 
Spiteful like spitting from it.

For Pebble itself, is the pools so regular now because pebbly gunk has 
just filled in all those formations? From the video, after being 
"vacuumed" the structure of the pool was very shapely. I was wondering 
if what they did (vacuumed and lowered pool) induced the main vent or if 
that was going to turn out like Spiteful's regular spitting vent but 
there would be a rarely active main vent from more like the center of 
the pool. Gosh, random, but what I wouldn't give for a couple of hours 
to wander around Kaleidoscope to see all the different vents in Deep 
Blue with one of the old-timers who knew what vents were there. Thanks 
for the footage!

On cleaning Morning Glory, was there ever a film of the induced eruption 
and all the paraphernalia it threw out?
