And what was Spasm <BR>doing? Just curious. I've never seen water that low in both Fountain <BR>and Morning...wow! And Twig in steam phase...very cool.<BR></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV>In answer to yesterday, Clepsydra was active and Spasm was empty.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I didn't say it earlier, so I will now. Today, during the wild phase, I saw an eruption by Sizzler... errrr, I mean Super Frying Pan. It seemed sort of weak. During about 30 minutes there, there was no eruption by Jet nor by Twig, yet Bearclaw's east vent was playing a foot or so high through a standing pool perhaps 2 feet across and draining into the west vent (I think -- it was snowing). Spasm and Clepsydra erupted normally. Fun stuff. I'm liking the Fountain area more every year.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Earlier too, I alluded to the possibility that I won't be in the basin tomorrow. WEll, probably I can at least extract some info from the logbook, but it will be rather early in the day. So now I let the cat out of the bag: I will be driving one, sometimes two, days per week for Yellowstone Tour Guides (the Holsteins), and tomorrow is a "training" ride-along on the Lower Loop.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
