Blue's pool is very low! The erupter that was IN the pool on the south end is now exposed and is ~2' away from the edge of Blue's pool. No bubbles or boils from Blue. The side erupter is about 2' in height. |

Seen really low on 24th with active filling from that east vent, further observed after several hours it had not refilled any higher. Seen at the same low depth today 28th- don't know if it has filled and drained or is just ... very low now. |

Empty yesterday. Full to the rim 1029 today, with the vent on the east completely submerged. Active convection in the middle increased by 1045 and another vent on the north seen with the naked eye. Returning from back basin at 1512, it was only 1/3 full with heavy roiling in the middle. What happened between 1100 and 1500 is anyone's guess. |

Seen about half empty 1107, filling and full to the level of the sput on the East side, then seen quite empty again at 1800. I still have yet to see what is happening and why it drains - - an eruption or someone pulls the plug? |

03/15/1973 After 3:00 PM Blue Geyser was observed to be playing strongly. Possibly the increased runoff which is relatively cooler by the time it reaches the pool of Constant could have temporarily flooded the geyser off as it has with Pinwheel Geyser. |
