Finally able to respond to this news - I, too, thank you, Cathy, for
the reports!<br>
<br>
I've noticed over the years in my photo documentation of West Thumb
that these three springs have remained at virtually the same water
levels over the years (Ephydra will drop occasionally) while all
around them levels change in other springs. I thought another
spring (basically across the boardwalk from Blue Funnel Spring)
might also be connected, but its water level dropped out of sight in
maybe 2012 (?) and the other three remained the same.<br>
<br>
I remembered something in my research that said they were seen
changing together as well. Finally dug that out.<br>
<br>
From Ralph Taylor's Letter From the President in the August 2001
Sput (Vol 15, No. 4):<br>
<blockquote>"Also, Bronco Grigg reports that the water levels in
Blue Funnel Spring, Ephedra Spring, and Perforated Pool had
dropped several feet (lower than when the new geyser east of Blue
Funnel Spring first erupted)." <br>
</blockquote>
That letter also reported that Ledge and Collapsing Pool were
erupting.<br>
<br>
And a bit of personal news - Mike and I plan to be in Cody full time
by the end of March (no house yet, but Mom has graciously opened her
house to us until we find one). Can hardly wait!<br>

<div>It's curious that the three springs in a row at West Thumb
are low in water but not others in the area. There is still so
much we don't know about the thermal features!</div>

</div>
<div>I'm also glad for a chance to say Thank You, Cathy, for the
excellent reports you send us!</div>
