Hello All,
A quick report.  My son Steven and I hiked to Shoshone Geyser Basin on July 15, 2007.
The following geysers were observed on the east side of Shoshone Creek:
Double -- weaker with lower eruption height than previous years.
Little Giant - weak splashes.
Trailside -- one very weak and one weak eruption seen.
Meander -- probbaly dormant
Soap Kettle -- water level never seen to boil above the top of the cone.
Little Bulger -- normal small eruptions.
five crater -- two "eruptions" obeserved, one was only overflow, the other was weak splashing to a few inches.
Shield -- normal
Gourd -- weak
Minute man -- very nice eruptions.
Union - water level is too low to see.White Hot Spring and Sea Green Pools are bone dry.
In general, springs on the east side of Shoshone Creek are notably weaker than normal based on my experience.
On the west side of Shoshone Creek:
Small -- normal eruptions
Snail and related vent to east -- normal eruptions
Knobby -- very active, but mostly minor eruptions
Bead -- star of the show.  very nice eruptions to 15 feet, with some jets as high as 25 feet.      Intervals are sometimes just over an hour.
Velvet Spring -- boils 2-3 feet, one to 5 feet.
Mangled Crater - normal eruptions
Iron Conch - normal eruptions
Lion -- probably dormant.
Glenn Spring - small splashes and light overflow (first time I've actually seen it do anything).
