[Geysers] Topsoil Spring (eruption?)

[godsfireworks at yahoo.com]

<br/>Hi all, <br/><br/>I just wanted to report something very interesting and kind of cool I saw while in the basin last night with Will B. We wandered over to Grand and he began to set up his camera near West Triplet. I decided that while waiting I would go take a peek at topsoil spring. The last thing I had heard was that topsoil was hot, but well below overflow. <br/><br/>When I walked up however, topsoil was at (or very close to) overflow and had a steady stream of small bubbles flowing to the surface. Intrigued, I stayed put for a minute more. Just as I turned to leave, a low thump caught my attention, then another, then another! Turning and straining my eyes, I looked towards Oblong. No steam was seen blocking the stars. No on that. Then I looked down, and yelled for Will to get over here. <br/><br/>Topsoil had begun to boil throwing in an occasional splash of water upwards of half a foot or more. At the same time, it was putting out some of the
 most audible thumps I've ever heard anywhere. I couldn't feel them through the boardwalk though. But they were powerful, enough to make the water pulse an inch or two, resembling the activity at Doublet Pool. After a few minutes, the activity slowed but did not cease, and there was still the occasional thump and "blip" when I got up and left.<br/><br/>I'm not sure what to call this, is it an eruption? Has anyone else seen this? I know I never had. I just wanted to report it to you all. <br/><br/>I will probably have an Anemone activity summery by the end of the week.<br/><br/>Cheers<br/>Micah Kipple<br/><br/>Sent from Yahoo! Mail for iPhone
