In other words, this is my last report of 2005.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Before I carry on, thanks to the several of you who passed along ideas regarding missing Katrina people. I tried all of your suggestions and more -- no luck.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I was only in the basins for a short time today, shorter yesterday, so I don't have much. I know Kitt was in today, so a good report for this weekend will probably be upcoming.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Beehive was at 1022 on the 22nd, not seen yesterday, and at 0632 ie today. That's a double interval of 43h 45m.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Plume's intervals have generally been between 40 and 45 minutes -- scary, since that's about the level at which it decided to start its dormancies earlier this year.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I hope people will keep watching the Hillside Springs (those below the cliffs between Black Sand and Biscuit). I've been noticing for a week or two that the cyanobacteria seemed to be disappearing. Today when the temperature was in the 30s, the southernmost of those springs was barely steaming -- only light wisps. Something is happening there. To my knowledge, the Hillsides have always gushed heavy streams.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>In the Lower Basin I basically saw nothing other than Botryoidal, White Dome, Pink Cone ie late steam at 0808, and Pink ie at 1151 -- my last geyser of 2005.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>It's hard to believe that 5+ months went by so fast. Ah, well. Take care.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
