These are my conclusions after 7 or 8 non-continuous hours of observation. These observations were valid for August 3-6, 2009 It is a geyser It is not erupting for more time than it erupts.   Assumption: An eruption is when water is fairly consistently being splashed beyond the inner rim of the crater. Breaks in the splashing not lasting longer than 15 seconds do not make a separate eruption   It has 2 types of eruptions   One type of eruption is usually 5 minutes or less, often 2 minutes or less and does not send water down the runoff channel. The other type of eruption usually lasts 8 to 15 minutes and does produce a stream of water down the runoff channel. These types of eruptions sometimes alternate but there can be strings of the shorter eruptions without one of the longer ones.   Because it nearly continuously chatters I call it the Mouth geyser.   Debbie Sjodin   debbie.sjodin@clearwire.net</DIV></DIV></body> </html>
