Enroute out of the park, I found Silex in eruption at 1433. Per visitors, it had been a full pool a few minutes before my arrival, so undoubtedly what I saw was the initial eruption. It had another major at 1512, after which I left thoroughly drenched by a downpour... Marker was washed yesterday, roughly 1 3/4 days after the previous active episode, now again this  morning (less than 1 day), and the the activity of this afternoon (certainly less than 1 day).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>While out there early, I saw OLD Bellefontaine splashing about 2 feet high, at 0822.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Other newsy thing -- one of the vents among the little springs (I call them "The Dwarfs") between Depression and Arrowhead erupted this morning. I forst saw it, from near the Inn, at 1053. It continued until sometime between 1140 and 1210. The action was nearly continuous, except that it would die down to rather feeble splashing to 1 foot, but then pick up to strong jetting that sometimes sent spray fully 10 feet high. Photo below. Mike Lang says this vent was active one day prior to the most recent Giantess (and please people, Mike and others have told me of Giantess in February, but I had the last on January 30 -- did I miss something?)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><IMG SRC="cid:X.MA1.1115684217@aol.com" style="WIDTH: 216px; HEIGHT: 288px" height=288 width=216 vspace=5 comp_state="speed" DATASIZE="24788" ID="MA1.1115684217" ></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Lion went 85 minutes between the initial and #2.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Plume was between 51 and 61 minutes.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Grand at 1416 was an interval of 8h 35m.
