Pool would fill and try to erupt about every twenty minutes for the entirety of the time I was there, but no eruptions were observed. The try at 1327 looked really promising, but no go. There appears to be a fair amount of water flowing in from another source. |

Opening Weekend saw no eruptions of Constant Geyser. It cycles as it has in the past at regular intervals (less than 20 min) but does not erupt. Per the YVO graphs this change occurred on April 8, 2014. I did not know how to interpret the drastic change in the shape of the YVO graph until I was able to observe the cycles in person. Some of them look quite promising with good blurps and overflow, but no eruptions were seen during the time it was observed. |

09/04/1977 Complete Log entry:
Little Whirligig started to erupt at 1016 there was no water in the pool when the geyser first sprayed. It lasted about 8 minutes. Constant geyser erupted twice during L.W. eruption, the first eruption was small 4-5 ft. the second was very powerful up to 25’
After L.W. Big Whirligig erupted at 1025
The pool was at an extreme low level when it started. Splutter pot started eruptions in unison with higher bursts matching the higher bursts of all four geysers. |

03/15/1973 From the data above it can be seen that the height of play was very uniform and shorter than yesterday’s recorded eruption. This is due at least in part to the shearing off of the water jets by a brisk NW wind. The fact that there were no eruptions after 3:27 is puzzling. Two possible causes might be considered: 1, the water running into the pool of Constant Geyser may have cooled more from the increasing northwesterly winds and the slightly lower air temperature from both the wind and the sun starting to go down in the west. |

15 Mar 1973 @ 1500 |

research-mab |
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. |
