24527 29 Oct 2022 @ 1346 29 Oct 2022 @ 1746 MAB Kinda funny after last week w 9.5 hours of Shorts I decided not to note 'Low start' over and over but it did strike me as odd to see them so early - then had an abrupt slow down - in case I don't write it up it could be the shortest string of frequent intervals this season but I'll check at home - waited 2hrs for the SW catch basin to dry out then went for a walkabout - left it @1746 in a slow fill w 20 min fill & drop cycles so this Interval greater than 5hrs
24397 15 Oct 2022 @ 1803 --- MAB Arrived 0833 to slow fill with a few bubbles - monitored 15min fill & drop cycles whilst walking around elsewhere until some progress -1st drowned hog @1536 - thru west notch by 1638 {with drops} - left it @1803 after 1 last fill thru notch but not creeping farther down the platform - getting sooo close but gotta go -> this Interval greater than 9.5hrs
24306 07 Oct 2022 @ 0914 --- MAB wet but not flowing or steaming platform 0914 - rim wobble with occasional bubble slight fill then drop

19651 18 Sep 2021 @ 1448 --- novakg Some small dampness in the north catch pools. This implies that there was an eruption earlier in the day. Also, some light water in the SW catch pools. Water is just visible in the vent. East sinkhole water is slightly down. I left at about 1545 due to high wind and rain. By this point the water in the vent had risen maybe 3 to 4 in inches.
19620 16 Sep 2021 @ 0906 16 Sep 2021 @ 1140 MAB Slow fill with slight drops at ~20min intervals - did not go check on fill progress after 1140
18580 22 Jul 2021 @ 1045 22 Jul 2021 @ 1130 Tara Frequent eruptions with steam mixed in, quick drains
18366 11 Jul 2021 @ 1533 11 Jul 2021 @ 1540 cb 1533 Vixen is making audible gurgling noises with an occational visual splash. Both runoff channels by the Tantalus bridge are wet with pooling water to the river. no eruption as of 1540.
18325 09 Jul 2021 @ 1842 --- MAB Arrived 0848 to dry platform including the deep catch basins - slow fill with blips - made steady progress @26-30m fill n drop cycles then @3h dropped to where I first saw it - and repeat - don't mind the wait but want to study the relationship of overflow to start time in different points of the cycle - today it didn't even fill enough to flow out past the west notch let alone SW overflow - for that matter didn't get a start either - left it at 1842
18278 05 Jul 2021 @ 1523 --- cb Platform and channels dry, water low in the vent but visable. Half dollar - dime sized bubbles breaking the surface with waves.
18191 29 Jun 2021 @ 0809 --- Graham Post eruptive, water flowing down runoff channel and plarform steamy. Gurgling and splashing in vent.
18122 27 Jun 2021 @ 0830 27 Jun 2021 @ 1900 cb @0830. Platform and runoff channels are still bone dry all the way to the river. Sinter covered plants in the runoff channel close to Tantalus Creek are so dry they are brittle to the touch. I don't believe Vixen erupted at all since my last observation yesterday and through the night. @1115 water is up to the hedgehog, it is calm, no bubbles. 1330 Dry platform still! water is fluctuating between covering the hedgehog and to its base. no bubbles. Seems to be fluctuating ~1". Pool just to the east (behind) Vixen is about 8 - 10" below high water mark. 1700 water in about the same place, platform still dry and the pool/hole on the other side of the boardwalk is drying. @1900 water well covering the hedgehog and extends about 4" beyond it. Slight rise and fall in the pool which exposes the "spins on the top of Hedge". still no bubbles, platform still dry.
18121 26 Jun 2021 @ 1100 26 Jun 2021 @ 2000 cb @ 1100 the Platform is dry to Tantalus Creek, water is visable in the tube ~6" down and no bubbles. @1315 water level is at the smooth area. Still dry platform. @1700 still dry and water is at 2nd beach. @ 2000 still bone dry platform, water fluctuating between filling the smooth area up to the surrounding biscuits and then slightly drop. No bubbles.
17963 21 Jun 2021 @ 1258 21 Jun 2021 @ 1430 CrisG another slow refill. I kept coming back and forth between Corporal to check. Left at 1430 with water at the base of the frogs. Another very hot day with no wind and my stomach was screaming for food.
17962 21 Jun 2021 @ 1105 21 Jun 2021 @ 1232 CrisG Arrived to Hedgehog 3/4 covered with residual water in outer catch basins to North and South. 1200: pool dropping. 1215: pool recovered, water overflowing to west and SW towards runoff channel. 1231: water reached Vixen sign. 1232: increased bubbling, convection.
17863 16 Jun 2021 @ 0900 16 Jun 2021 @ 1630 novakg Water rose slowly throughout the day with small drops at times. When we left at 1630 the water was very near 1st beach.
17862 16 Jun 2021 @ 0854 --- novakg Arrived to "mostly dry" platform. Some water was caught in pools to the North/Northwest. This water did not evaporate around 1320. Vixen had water near the top of the vent.
17722 12 Jun 2021 @ 1840 --- MAB 3 hours post eruption water at 4in wobble - slow progress on the fill - left it 4h post E w 2in wobble w bubbles
17685 11 Jun 2021 @ 1548 --- novakg Futz minor. D=31 seconds.

17613 09 Jun 2021 @ 1658 09 Jun 2021 @ 1800 Craigmon99 Walked up to a half full pool and a wet run off channel. Water levels changed slowly up and down over this time period. No Vixen eruption.
17632 09 Jun 2021 @ 1630 --- novakg Water was rising and bobbing in the vent as we were leaving.
17631 09 Jun 2021 @ 0916 09 Jun 2021 @ 1555 novakg TL;DR: Pool rose and fell many times, then entered overflow several times, leading to a "futz" minor eruption and then a major eruption. 0906: Arrived to dry platform with water above the vent and rising. 0926: Water at 2nd Beach. 0930: Drop to just below 1st Beach. 0938: Rising to 2nd Beach. 0944: Slight drop. 0951; Rising water to Hedgehog. 0954: Rapid rise to but not over Hedgehog. 1000: Crash to 1st Beach. 1005: To 2nd Beach. 1012: Drop to 1st Beach. 1017: Rose a bit, fell.

Platform still dry. Inferred no eruption. 1307: Water rising. 1326: Hedgehog covered. 1328: Registered 101 degrees on thermal gun, over 5 degrees hotter. Low reading before this was 85, 95 during rises. Sorry it is in F. A kid asked me how hot it was and Celsius doesn't mean anything to them. 1334: Water up & hot, but now about 90. 1338: Water dropping. 1352: Over Hedgehog, 100 F. 1404: Hedgehog top exposed, water dropping. 1427: Highest pool so far. First overflow to SW. 1432: Water dropped out of overflow, Hedgehog visible. 1439: Lowered to 2nd beach. 89 degrees. 1442: water rising, 95 degrees. 1453: Still rising. 1500: Pool crashed. 88 F. 1521: Overflow to SW, Biggest so far. 1522: Convection, 100 F. 1536: Still in overflow.

17569 08 Jun 2021 @ 1136 --- cb no eruptions seen during my walk about. Platform and channels are extremely dry. occational visual water gurgling deep in the vent.
17557 07 Jun 2021 @ 1414 07 Jun 2021 @ 1555 novakg Arrived at 1414 to dry platform and dry runoff channels. Vixen was rising with occasional convection and bloops. 1431: Fill paused (below 1st beach). 1433: Convection resumed. 1445: Water now on 1st beach. Still occasional convection. 1450: Water to 2nd Beach. 1506: Water crashed to bottom of 1st Beach. 1512: Water rising over 1st & 2nd Beach; 1514: over Hedgehog rock. 1518: Water over 2nd Beach. 1526: Dropped slightly. 1530: Drain back to 2nd Beach. 1533: Very still. Mostly off beaches. 1536: Rising again. 1st & 2nd Beach covered. 1548: Convective doming and visible steam. 1554: Overflow to SW runoff channel. 1555: Blooping that I called "almost start bloops."
17474 05 Jun 2021 @ 0925 05 Jun 2021 @ 0950 Stephen_Gemar Arrived to a VERY dry platform and a full pool that was extending into the smaller rocks on the right-front and right side of Vixen’s crater. Over the course of observation, the pool began slowly dropping. Some light convection observed over the vent throughout observation. No bubbles observed. At 09:43, the pool began rising, returning the pool to the level upon arrival. Left the area at 09:50, did not observe an eruption.
17361 01 Jun 2021 @ 2050 --- MAB Arrived 0911 to mostly dry platform w/fill 1in below vent rim and proceeded to watch fill/drop cycles with regularity ~ many 22-28min. First overflow in SW channel only moistened the 3rd tier, followed by two more drops all reaching the 3rd tier about an hour apart. Final drop was @ 2047 whereupon I left. Interval then much greater than 11h40m. Learned a few things though!
17174 24 May 2021 @ 1142 24 May 2021 @ 1222 annelies8 Sat to watch for 40 minutes to see if anything would happen. Water was low when I arrived and filled VERY slowly until I left to reach the surroundings rocks, but no activity other than a few bubbles. Surrounding ground had a few wet spots but it was also snowing quite hard...
17119 17 May 2021 @ 2017 --- MAB Definitely in Slow Down but did not quiet like previous observations- a few splashes above ground level - but water not visible- left it at 50m
17099 15 May 2021 @ 1250 15 May 2021 @ 1550 cb Platform mostly dry with a few low areas that look damp. water is low in the vent, slightly fluctuating with occational bubbles. @1420 water is still in the same spot. 1435 water is visable sitting down on the boardwalk. 1515 water has filled the smooth area and entering the biscuits. 3 hours + and no eruption. SLOOOOW fill!
17093 14 May 2021 @ 1356 --- cb platform is dry dry DRY! A little water low in the vent with an occational bubble. LONGS!
17025 09 May 2021 @ 1253 --- cb no eruption seen while our walk. runoff channel's are dry. water up in the vent and smooth area. occasional small bubble from the vent
16999 06 May 2021 @ 1941 --- MAB Vixen story of the day was mini crashes during refill- 1 step forward 1 step back - final fill in the long intervals was steady until the 1st crash @ 55m which wasn't so mini
16974 30 Apr 2021 @ 1929 --- MAB All eruptions today preceded by audible gurgles heard before water is visible
16958 29 Apr 2021 @ 1935 --- DanS Vixen active again with water in runoff channels.
16955 29 Apr 2021 @ 1247 29 Apr 2021 @ 1535 DanS Appears not to have erupted this period. Runoff channels dry.
16900 20 Apr 2021 @ 1301 20 Apr 2021 @ 1800 MAB Twelve observed starts all preceded by audible gurgles before a quick rise and start from within the tube. Slight gurgle heard at 28 min and small splashes at 36 min - water level not visible - similar to the previous starts but it quieted. By 2 hours totally silent. Still in a quiet SLOW refill - leaving it at 5h 5 min post eruption interval. Druther have had a closed interval. Also was glad to observe the transition to longs, but would druther have seen it the other direction.
16847 06 Feb 2021 @ 1450 --- Micah Kipple Gurgling at depth.
16484 29 Oct 2020 @ 1655 29 Oct 2020 @ 1745 MAB Quick return w inner circle full WITH BLOOPS at 22min which continued filling at a nice rate. Slight drop at 38m turned into a full blown crash by 40m. Filling again at 47m w another crash at 60m. Early on at 25+ min was hopeful for the shift to short intervals but Nope. Reached my cutoff time with 3 Vixens in 8 hours
16347 06 Oct 2020 @ 1307 --- cb Had Vixen in view since 1244 and no eruption. Platform is mostly dry with water just visible in the vent. Occational small bubble. It's on a slow fill. Runoff channel toward Tantalus is damp. This is not a closed interval observation.
