Managed to see Pocket Geyser erupt (as did Butch Bach's "Mud Pot Special" hike). Four or more geysers are active in the upper spring area east of Fortress Geyser. Unfortunately, Dark Pool  Blurble and BRain are NOT active -- that stretch near the reiver was the least active I've ever seen it. Active elsewhere in the area are my RVG-1 (1 to 2 feet, seen from across the river) and RVG-4 (little more than bubbling overflow but quite frequent I think). The mud pots, interestingly, are either dry or rather fluid. The vertically gifted cyclic mudpot was doing very little and, judging by the walls of its crater, it has not had significant action in quite a while. The best mud pot in the area was --- well, really, there wasn't one that was particularly exciting at all.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV></FONT> <P></P></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
