One shows, from left to right, the new vent, the index finger (Red Vent), and, just below center, what should be the main vent. This was the angle that got my attention, because the rocky outcrop above the main vent (visible in Jocelyne's second picture, which I assume is from 2007) is completely absent. Instead, the formation slopes in a gentle curve from the index finger to where the main vent should be. It's as if it collapsed into the vent. The second photo is from below, looking up the trail. The main vent should be just below and right of center, but again, I couldn't find any sign of it. That's Black Growler on the right, by the way. It was being dwarfed (as a steam vent) by Guardian while I was there.<br> <br>David Schwarz<br></div> <span><IMG_7812_small.JPG></span><span><IMG_7853_small.JPG></span>_______________________________________________<br>Geysers mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu">Geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu</a><br>https://lists.wallawalla.edu/mailman/listinfo/geysers</blockquote></div><br></body></html>
