it was dormant and I needed the logger elsewhere, so I cannot be sure whether
there have been eruptions or not. I will place one on the geyser this
Saturday, but can only leave it there until the end of the
month.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>Dick Powell, David Monteith and I looked over the North
Goggles Geyser and Goggles Spring area very closely and could see no signs of a
recent eruption. It seems almost certain that a major eruption of North
Goggles would have killed microbial mat and probably some grass, and leave signs
of wash in the runoff channels, but there were no such
signs.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>According to David Monteith, who has seen an eruption of
Goggles Spring in the past, there was a large volume of water, angled toward the
boardwalk. The splash zone showed no signs of new wash, the microbial mats
appeared to me to be intact, and there was no evidence of recent
wash.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=483124123-14092006><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>All this is somewhat circumstantial, but I could not see
any evidence of a recent eruption of either Goggles Spring or North Goggles
Geyser. The location in the photo looks closer to Goggles Spring than to
North Goggles Geyser to me, but it is really hard to be
sure.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>Something sure made that cloud, but I'd have to go with the
previously noted possibility of a puff of steam from a Lion roar rather than a
major eruption of either Goggles or North Goggles. Just my opinion, of
course.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Assuming that was North Goggles in eruption with
Lion, and that is my guess, I have a question. When did North Goggles
start erupting again? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I don't remember seeing a North Gottles eruption that
looked that big.</FONT></DIV>
