[Geysers] news from West Thumb

[Janet White | SnowMoon, LLC]

Finally able to respond to this news - I, too, thank you, Cathy, for the 
reports!

I've noticed over the years in my photo documentation of West Thumb that 
these three springs have remained at virtually the same water levels 
over the years (Ephydra will drop occasionally) while all around them 
levels change in other springs.  I thought another spring (basically 
across the boardwalk from Blue Funnel Spring) might also be connected, 
but its water level dropped out of sight in maybe 2012 (?) and the other 
three remained the same.

I remembered something in my research that said they were seen changing 
together as well. Finally dug that out.

 From Ralph Taylor's Letter From the President in the August 2001 Sput 
(Vol 15, No. 4):

    "Also, Bronco Grigg reports that the water levels in Blue Funnel
    Spring, Ephedra Spring, and Perforated Pool had dropped several feet
    (lower than when the new geyser east of Blue Funnel Spring first
    erupted)."

That letter also reported that Ledge and Collapsing Pool were erupting.

And a bit of personal news - Mike and I plan to be in Cody full time by 
the end of March (no house yet, but Mom has graciously opened her house 
to us until we find one). Can hardly wait!
