NGB: New Thing NNW of Black Pit has enlarged its crater - the poor little tree on the edge fell in! Possibly also heating up below it NW beyond the snag that collected gravels - more water flowing towards path w one wet area slightly steaming - could be from the increased splashing that direction or snow & rain could have provided the water but not the heat - will look again end of day |

The orange pool north of Thumb Paint Pots was thumping loudly last fall with the water sounding very deep as the thumps came out of what seemed to be a cave forming. This spring it is full of water and looks sort of like a mini Dragon's Mouth Spring with water sloshing out of the overhang. Overall water levels in the Paint Pots area are very high with the "Paint Pots Pond" overflowing into the first pool to the north. Again, as with Surging Spring, the water levels are about as high as I've seen them. I would need to check photos, but I think there was only one other time they were this high and Surging was active then - maybe around 2009? |

NGB: Black Pit developed a noisy steam vent like about halfway down the north (Steamboat side) and looks like a half circle or crescent. If it's only new-to-me it might have lost water since 27th to become so incessantly noisy.

Biscuit Basin Geyser or something near it: bulging domes to ~1 meter height, ending 1042. No visible runoff. I don't know all the holes in the Old Road Group, but this was one of the northernmost in the Baby Daisy / Biscuit Basin Geyser area, and in a place where I don't recall seeing anything splash in a very long time. I have a photo taken from the highway if anyone can identify the vent from that. |

"Persistent Spring" is spouting 3-5 inches from the lefthand side. But what caught our attention is the fact that it is having clear slowdowns/almost pauses complete with a slight drop in water level. At the end of the pause the spouting grows more vigorous 6-8 inches high and the frying pans on the right side also get more vigorous. Very much displays the charactistics of a geyser! |

Clearwater Springs: Most pools just sizzling with gas.
Immediately across the creek from the farthest west corner of the observation platform is a pool that looks like it could definitely do more if it wanted.
The most interesting thing is that the largest alcove across the creek, with the feature hidden from view has periodic splashing noises, with definite pauses. The discharge entering the creek from the feature is clear water. So it could potentially be a geyser. Other visitors also confirmed they were hearing pauses with me. |

(wc) South of Coronet seen blipping. Of note is that it began blipping shortly after the September 6 eruption. Coupled with CalebD's earlier observation that it was seen blipping after August 12's eruption, this could indicate blipping is part of its post-eruptive behavior. Previously entered as 'Coronet area geyser'; based on comparing September 2023 satellite imagery and the September 6 eruption, it seems to be a long-existing hole about 13 feet south of it, at 44.463496, -110.829684. |

The orange spring north of Thumb Paint Pots sounds an awful lot like Dragon's Mouth Spring - booming from deep within the crater. Mud was sloshing up into view on August 4, 2024, but on this visit, only a couple of small splashes could be seen. The vents near it that opened up a few years back also are connected and send out sounds. Water levels in the neighboring spring still has grass growing in what water is left in the crater. Thumb Paint Pots also have lower water levels. |

Time approximate. Vehicle left road and ended up in Semi-Centennial Geyser. The vehicle sank, is fully submerged, and will sit there until 7-12 when extraction with a crane will be attempted. Geyser runoff diverted to protect Obsidian Creek. (5 occupants of car did survive and got out but their condition is unknown at this time.) |

(wc) Large plume appeared in the Grotto - Fan and Mortar region, which also includes GNT and CLC (I guess that makes for a morning stroll...) but excludes Riverside, Grand and Artemisia. The large part of the plume (which spanned from its origin to out of frame near Castle) sustained until about 0450, after which it significantly declined. I think a Grotto start and a Rocket major can be ruled out due to the duration (Grotto start would just be a short burst of steam followed by steady steam, am not aware of a Rocket lasting any longer than 15m, let alone 20). In any case I'm hesitant to put it on a specific remaining candidate, as each one is more unlikely than the other. |
