Just curious if we are getting a repeat of that activity.  Did you make it to "The Gap" area at all?  I wonder what is still active out there. Take Care, Smokey Mike Keller wrote: PORCELAIN BASIN:   The ice cone is almost completely gone from Guardian Geyser.  It is still in an impressive steam phase.   The finger vents in Ledge were erupting every couple of minutes to a few feet.   Arsenic Geyser erupted every 3 to 22 minutes reaching from 1 to 4 feet.   Blue Geyser is full and overflowing heavily, but it does not appear to be erupting.   One closed interval on Constant Geyser was 38 minutes.   There is a fairly large (4 to 6 feet high) perpetual spouter playing in the flats about 70 yards behind Pinwheel Geyser in the middle of Porcelain Basin.   BACK BASIN:   I spent 90 minutes watching Steamboat.  The minor play was 61% concerted.  The largest play from the North Vent was about 15 feet high and from the South Vent about 20 feet high.  The volume of water in most of the minors was impressive, and the play from the North Vent is more vertical than I have seen it in sometime.  The runoff was fairly steady and when Steamboat had periods of strong minor play it is fairly impressive when watched from the footbridge at the base of the hill.   Echinus has definitely erupted in the past few days.  There is a fair amount of fresh wash along its basin.  It was in overflow and gently bubbling in the 25 minutes I watched it today.   Pearl Geyser is not erupting, but its basin is full and overflowing.  The perpetual spouter across the trail to the south was active, reaching from 1 to 3 feet.   Vixen Geyser looked inactive.   One closed interval on Corporal Geyser was 22 minutes.   Monarch Geyser was 1004ie, duration greater than 14 minutes.  The largest boils reached about 3 feet.   Forgotten Fumarole is still active, but is much weaker than noted last month.  Closed intervals ranged from 9 to 14 minutes, but the eruptions are only reaching 2 to 6 feet.   MK <pre style='margin-left:.5in' wrap=""> </pre><pre style='margin-left:.5in;text-align:center'> <hr size=4 width="90%" align=center> </pre><pre style='margin-left:.5in'> </pre><pre style='margin-left:.5in'>_______________________________________________</pre><pre style='margin-left:.5in'>Geysers mailing list</pre><pre style='margin-left:.5in'><a href="mailto:Geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu">Geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu</a></pre><pre style='margin-left:.5in'><a href="https://lists.wallawalla.edu/mailman/listinfo/geysers">https://lists.wallawalla.edu/mailman/listinfo/geysers</a></pre></div> </body> </html>
