7-5-2018 CORPORAL BBEV 1201 See Note under Steamboat
Porcelain Basin still very active, but appears drier. Congress pool down 4-6" from yesterday, still boiling vigorously. Emerald Springs and Monarch runoff appears to have increased. Monarch geyser crater has clearer water and much fuller. Corperal boiling, runoff wet. Cistern did not look any different, boiling steadily, just at overflow. Emerald Springs is still cloudy but with noticeably less boiling.

Two eruptions in this time frame - Starts are different – more convection and upwelling before it starts as it used to, or if that is the start it is very very different, so I don’t have good start times yet until I figure it out! Water level is low, but it does reach overflow during the eruption, about 10 feet out. Superb growling and grumbling from Dog Leg! |

6/28/1994 - no time noted - I spent a lot of rove time watching Corporal Geyser and Dog’s Leg. They have seemed to switch roles and now Corporal is erupting and Dog’s Leg is not. Corporal has low boils or eruptions lasting between 10-13 min with intervals between eruptions about 10-12 min. When Corporal starts bubbling Dog’s Leg drains and when Corporal stops, Dog’s Leg quickly fills. I took temp readings and Corporals fluxuates between a low of 69.6° to a high of 79.4°! Low occurred when two (of the seemingly three) vents were going and high occurred during time when all three vents were boiling, about two min. from end of eruption. Dogs’ Leg temp ranged from 71.5°C to about 73.4°C. Remember these are estimates I only watched it for a few separate accounts today! But I’m hooked so more soon |

July 14 1976 - inferred time no time noted 2nd entry - Corporal Geyser - - has an eruptive cycle of approximately 20 minutes and 34 seconds. I began my observation of Corporal just as the pool filled and overflow began. The eruption ceased soon afterwards and I began timing. The pool drained approximately 4-5 inches. Once the pool has drained to the level of white sinter deposit the pool gradually begins to refill. Slow at first, then increasing in frequency and intensity bubbles begin to appear at the surface of the pool. As the feature approaches the end of its eruptive cycle - - bubbling becomes quite vigorous. Steam bubbles can be heard hitting cap rock in the vent before they surface. The largest eruptive display reaches a whopping 6-8”. Spectacular!!! |

For several days I’ve noticed that Corporal Geyser was having greater than usual run-off at times, however every time I went by Corporal it would be 3”-4” below the edge. Today I witnessed the “eruption”. The pool started to fill and bubble until it rose to overflowing. The bubbling action was relatively gentle. Approx 20 gal of water ran down the run-off channel, the bubbling stopped, and the level dropped. A dull thumping was apparent during the bubbling activity. {no specific time} |

Corporal Geyser – the heat has shifted to here – apparently from “The Dog’s Leg.” There is bubbling in pool of Corporal, the water in it is turbid, & there is now no runoff from The Dog’s Leg. In addition, The Dog’s Leg has lost most of its Sulphur deposit. |
