<DIV>Someplace there should be one or more reports by Hutchinson about the
activity by Morning in the early 1980s, especially 1983. I well recall one day
when I was tabbed to help him place his port-a-corder (basically, portable
seismometer, which at the time was Rick's primary monitoring device) out on the
far side of Morning. I don't know how long he had the thing out there...
Unfortunately (so here's hoping), 1983 was the last year in which I saw Morning
erupt -- the first episode in 1991 was when I was on Kamchatka and the second
episode ended a few days before my September arrival)... Anyhow, while the
height figure of 200 feet is not mine, my recollection from 1983 and
before is that Morning's bigger bursts far exceeded anything I've ever seen
out of Fountain, distance from the boardwalk fully considered.</DIV>
