<div dir="ltr"><br>Tuesday July 10, 2012: Freund 2, Dunn 2, Rieske 3, Hatfield 3 and Bellingham all descended upon Norris Geyser Basin. Here are note worthy tidbits of interest to those yet to visit this summer, or for those who are coming back. It is not a complete listing of activity, or change. <br><br>Whirligig has begun erupting again, and has been seen 1 or 2 times daily since June 30. Porkchop is down about 8", and the complex across from Pearl (Sagebrush Lizard, Mini Pearl, Creamsicle, whatever local usage you prefer) is devoid of water. Gray Lakes area is having huge boils and waves; the runoff does not reach Green Dragon, but the brownish water flows downhill towards the boardwalk behind Porkchop. Black Growler isn't roaring and has occasional splashes. Ledge is dry. Vixen is active. <br><br>Some Whirligig times are inferred from Norris staff from the empty (ORANGE) crater. I will post those times on geysertimes.org for the Whirligig fan club. <br><br>Go Whirligig!!!<br><br><br>MA<br><br><br>M.A. Bellingham<br>mabdepot@msn.com<br><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div><br></div></div>
