The OF logbook (as transcribed on the GOSA web site) shows reported activity in 2001, 2002 and 2004.  The logbook record is almost certainly incomplete, and I bear some of the blame for that. Here's what I can remember of the eruptions. The years I saw Pear erupt, it was cyclic in its activity.  Episodes of frequent eruptions (intervals <20 minutes) were separated by an undetermined number of hours of quiet.  A pool nearby was full and overflowing during Pear's series of eruptions and often not full at other times.  That's probably the feature listed as "Pear Spring" in T. Scott Bryan's book (3rd edition). When I say the nearby pool was full and overflowing, what I actually mean is that there was a larger steam cloud over the pool location and continuing along the presumed runoff channel.  That's all you can see of it from the trail.

I have also received reports that there are periodic 10+ foot eruptions from a pool somewhere around them. I might have to sit on them this week and verify those reports, although it is possible that it could be a separate freak event. > > _______________________________________________ Geysers mailing list <a href="mailto:Geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu" target="_blank">Geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu</a> <a href="https://lists.wallawalla.edu/mailman/listinfo/geysers" target="_blank">https://lists.wallawalla.edu/mailman/listinfo/geysers</a> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html>
