<div dir="ltr"><div>Hello again,</div><div> </div><div>This is interesting. When Will first brought this feature to my attention on 5-30-13 it was (at that time) only steaming. On 6-1-13 when I first saw it Pebble was just starting to cover it, I assumed it was doing the same thing as two days earlier but I could be wrong. When Pebble dropped below the crack it appeared to just be steaming but the ground was all wet, if it had some slight water output I don't know if I would have seen it. On 6-2-13 it was underwater the whole time I was watching. I do not doubt Lynn's observations, I know she is an astute observer of thermal features. I wonder if it is becoming more active, or if perhaps the level of activity changes over time. I'm hoping for more active. </div> <div> </div><div>David, thanks for the link to a most interesting video. I don't think it shows the feature Lynn and I are talking about but Pebble looks so much different in that video. I think the little hole they are showing is UNNG-WDG-2. I have never seen it erupt but I think Lynn and others have. When Pebble is full the feature we are talking about is in the pool of Pebble a couple of inches below water on the side of the pool in the general direction of White Dome. </div> <div> </div><div>Stephen Eide</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jun 6, 2013 at 3:35 PM, Lynn Stephens <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:lstephens2006@hotmail.com" target="_blank">lstephens2006@hotmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> <div><div dir="ltr">I'm sorry Steve, but there IS water coming out from underneath the ledge. I first spotted the water when Pebble's water level was about midway between the sinter ledge and the orange algae line. The water is clearly visible before Pebble's water rises and covers the ledge. There may have only been steam when you and Will saw it, but I have watched water on three occasions now. There are steam/gas bubbles on the south side of Pebble's crater that have been there for several years. <br> <br>Lynn Stephens<br> <br><div><hr>Date: Wed, 5 Jun 2013 23:25:41 -0600<br>From: <a href="mailto:stepheneide@cableone.net" target="_blank">stepheneide@cableone.net</a><br>To: <a href="mailto:geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu" target="_blank">geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu</a><br> Subject: Re: [Geysers] Pebble Geyser<div><div class="h5"><br><br><div dir="ltr"><div>Greetings and Salutations,</div><div> </div><div>The steam/gas coming out of this crack/fracture was first noticed by Will <span>Boekel</span> on 5-30-13 when he heard it before me. Young ears and all. I also noticed Pebble filling and then dropping on June 1st and 2nd, I was hoping for Gemini without luck. When Pebble covers the crack/fracture it looks like it is erupting but when the water level drops below the feature you can tell it has no water output, just steam and/or gas. But this is the first time I have seen any activity in this area also. </div> <div> </div><div>Also, on 6-1-13 I did see an eruption of Spire Geyser in the Tangled Creek area. </div><div> </div><div>Stephen <span>Eide</span></div></div><div><br><br><div>On Tue, Jun 4, 2013 at 10:51 PM, David Monteith <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dmonteit@comcast.net" target="_blank">dmonteit@comcast.net</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote style="padding-left:1ex;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid">Here are couple images captured Saturday of the feature I think Lynn is<br> talking about.
