Subject: Fountain/Morning dual i.e. (in eruption) at 0858 on
30 Oct. 2012<br>

<div>As I entered Fountain Flats from the north, I saw a
large steam cloud and bursts of water to the left of
Clepsydra. As I got closer I saw a large discharge of
steaming water coming down the hill from Morning's
platform towards Gentian and believed Morning to be in
eruption. The thermometer was 31 as I parked, and the
boardwalk from the parking lot was icy. When I reached
the Fountain Paintpots, I could hear some loud bursts and
soon saw that BOTH Fountain and Morning were in eruption.
The wind was about 5-10 mph blowing from Fountain over
morning, obscuring the view of Morning. But Morning was
having booming bursts equal in size to Fountain's, and
steam tracks followed large water drops from both
geysers. Morning continued until 0928 with many high
shots, the highest around 70-80 feet. Ralph and Donna
Friz joined me shortly after Morning ended, and Fountain
continued until 1101. It had high bursts until the very
end...seen in eruption for over two hours. Who knows when
the eruptions started, but the Morning overflow was all
the way to the bottom of the hill when I arrived. My
guess is that I arrived not long after the start, given
Fountain's two-hour plus duration, Morning's 30 minutes
plus. Others who witnessed the 1991 duals may have more
to add. Lynn Stephens told Maureen that two-hour
Fountains had occurred at that time. Morning had 3-4 hour
intervals during August 1991 and could last over 30
minutes. Dare we hope a new series is in store?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As to other features, Jet was going every 3-5 minutes
throughout. Super Frying Pan started at 0959 and ended at
1007; the eruption was over 8 feet high at times. From my
arrival Spasm was bubbling, full and overflowing into a
full Jelly, and started to drop at around 1030; by 1050 it
was empty and water had dropped in Jelly. Twig,
interestingly, did not start until 1110, 9 minutes after
Fountain stopped. Then Clepsydra stopped at 1111 and was
still off when I left at 1123.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Steam was so strong that it was difficult to get a good
picture, but I think I have one possible decent one which
I'll forward to Dave Monteith to reduce for posting.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>PS. Maureen and Jim Holstein saw Morning from a
distance beginning at 1413, lasting only 7 minutes. I
assume</div>
<div>one of them will add further details. I stopped by at
1700, Morning, Morning's Thief and Fountain were all empty
and steaming. Christine stayed and may have more to
report. I called Steve Eide who is on his way and will be
with us tomorrow. I plan to be back there most of the
day. Wish us luck!</div>
