Comments: | First observed by Forest G. On arrival at 1651, Main Vent was splashing and River Vent was off, so it is possible we were in a River Pause.
1651, 1654, 1655 Main Vent splash.
1657 Upper Mortar splash.
1657-1705 Bottom Vent eruption. Very large with lots of water pouring into the river.

During the first Bottom Vent eruption, a ground squirrel was caught between the 2 streams of runoff entering the river. We watched him scurry from one stream to the other until finally he leaped across the front stream to make his escape. |
