<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">If sufficient carbon dioxide is present in any water, thermal or not, the flow rate can be cyclic. This happens by a mechanism that is similar to hot water geysers. The existence
of travertine would suggest that at least a little CO2 is present.

<div>So this isn't very related to Geysers but earlier this month I heard mention that someone said that they saw cyclic action in the Longmire thermal springs at the foot of Mount Rainer in Washington about a year ago. I've done some digging and the most information
I can find on the springs seems to come from a single website that states that they go through temperature variations from 77-89 degrees F, and that surprisingly they have traces of travertine in them. But can anyone confirm or support this observation that
they may have some periodic bubbling? As a Washingtonian I am curious to see if we actually have anything interesting happening with our meager thermal springs. </div>
