<div>Greetings,</div> <div> </div> <div>For the trip report April 16-24 2011 I did not make it out to Fountain as often as I wanted. However it was very regular with a few glitches. It appears to be much like last year and stable on a 6 hour interval plus or minus one hour. Most of the late morning eruptions were between 1100 and 1200 all week. The one possible odd day was Friday to Saturday, on Friday it erupted at 1252 and 1838 but on Saturday it was seen ie at 1108 and off at 1130. So it either did three shorts with an average of 5.5 hours (possible) or two longs with an average of 8.25 hour (not as likely, but possible). Jet and Super Frying Pan still appear to be trading the energy with Jet erupting every 6-10 minutes until Super Frying Pan erupts and that will usually shut Jet off. If enough time passes without Super Frying Pan Jet will restart or of course if Fountain erupts Jet will restart. Super Frying Pan does appear to have a bit more run off and has washed away some gravel to reveal an old sinter sheet that is light tan instead of the silver-gray of the new sheets. Bearclaw was erupting to 1-2 inches, the first time I have seen it above ground for a few years. Twig would join Fountain on some eruptions, but only some of them. Spasm was the same, it will sometimes start minutes to over an hour before Fountain but not on all eruptions. I did see Clepsydra shut off once after Fountain but usually I did not wait for it, the Fountain area was too windy and it was usually cold. Jelly was low and clear. Sub Geyser only rarely showed light steaming. The hole behind the bench by Spasm that showed up last year is being filled in by gravel from the run off from Super Frying Pan. Water used to drain quickly from this hole, but now it can sit in the hole for hours before it drains. </div> <div> </div> <div>Nothing was seen from Old Cone. The mud pots have good activity. The center pool is a bit wet but the side mud volcanoes are more active and sometimes throw mud up to 6-8 feet high. Silex Spring is normal and clear. Celestine Pool had a couple of 3-4 foot boils for me as i walked past. </div> <div> </div> <div>Unfortunately due to the steam from Clepsydra and the wind direction I saw very little in the Sprinkler or Kaleidoscope groups. I did see Angle or the latest reincarnation of Angle and I think I caught Impatient Miser Geyser. I know I saw Honey's Vent but that is all. </div> <div> </div> <div>Stephen Eide</div>
