33745 04 Jan 2024 @ 1544 --- Graham All steam, no water seen.
29028 22 Oct 2023 @ 0900 --- SantaFe108 Mostly steam with occasional droplets coming out, but still sounds wet at depth. Upper left vent is forcing steam. Black Hermit Caldron is full and possibly overflowing with boiling. (There is gray muddy runoff carved into the trail but it's hard to tell if it's flowing at all)

28924 20 Oct 2023 @ 1602 --- MAB More steam less water! only a few spritzes from the lower vent that heavily sloshed most of the summer - the north end crack not hissing as incessantly or forcefully as before = Nearby a pool in the central flat of Peale 60 general area had a strong boil. Will read RPs 1984 report and dig up a name/number or history. Usually it's just a flat receptacle type puddle
