<html> <head> <style></style></head> <body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Imagine my surprise on May 31st this year while sitting at the roadway pull-out next to Three Sisters when Mugwump erupted at exactly Noon! <BR>This was the first activity recorded in GT for 2016, with only one recorded sighting in 2015. Also, my first time for this geyser.<BR>BTW, This pull-out is one of the best locations in UGB to get a strong AT&T signal - I was entering eruption times into GT from the LGB that morning when Mugwump popped.<BR> <BR>For the several hours I had Mugwump under observation on 5/31, the pattern seemed to be a single, followed by a double, then a single, double, and so on. The notable exception was at 1333, when triple occurred instead of a double. The third burst (at 1335) was very small, compared to other bursts - only about 1.5 ft. high versus a normal range on that day of est. 5 - 10 ft. for all other eruptions of Mugwump.<BR> <BR>The lower eruption heights, around 5 ft. corresponded with wider circumference, more fountain like burst; while the taller bursts were more of a single, thinner column of water.<BR> <BR>That afternoon (last day at the park) with Mugwump was the highlight of this spring's trip to Yellowstone; looking forward to checking up on it upon returning in October.<BR> <BR>Always something new to see at Geyserland!<BR>Dan Schaffer<br> <BR><div><hr id="stopSpelling">From: jeff.cross@utah.edu<br>To: geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu<br>Date: Sun, 4 Sep 2016 06:22:21 +0000<br>Subject: [Geysers] How Many Eruptions in Mugwump Series<br><br> <style id="ecxowaParaStyle"> </style> <div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt; direction: ltr;">I am fascinated by one thing regarding Mugwump. <div><br> </div> <div>Each time I saw it erupt, a second eruption followed within a minute.</div> <div><br> </div> <div>Has anyone seen a single eruption?</div> <div><br> </div> <div>What about a triple eruption?</div> <div><br> </div> <div>Or, are they all doubles?</div> <div><br> </div> <div>Jeff Cross</div> <div>jeff.cross@utah.edu</div> </div> <br>_______________________________________________ Geysers mailing list Geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu https://lists.wallawalla.edu/mailman/listinfo/geysers</div> </div></body> </html>
