30239 07 Jul 1993 @ 1357 --- research-mab 7/7/1993 Rubble Geyser overflowing past bridge 1:57pm. This is the second time I’ve seen Rubble overflowing with no bursting. Maybe its eruption is just an overflow.
30233 28 Jun 1993 @ 1200 --- research-mab 6/28/93 - no time noted - Saw Rubble Geyser overflowing. Water was 2/3 of the way down the channel to the trail, flowing quietly & steadily. No bursts.

30606 04 Sep 1991 @ 1200 --- research-mab Sept 4 - no time noted - Back Basin rove presented nothing new to report. Rubble still has water in it. Vixen had just erupted. Steamboat strong minors.
30583 05 Aug 1991 @ 1200 --- research-mab 8/5/91- no time noted - Rubble’s runoff channel looks active so I put a “E” of twigs in it to check.
30566 22 Jul 1991 @ 1200 --- research-mab 7/22/1991 - no time noted - Rubble’s runoff channel is wet and washed looking today – could be from rain but may be eruptive. I’ve set out some indicator sticks just downstream from Rubble’s mouth.

7601 11 Feb 1984 @ 1800 --- research-mab 02/11/1984 “Fissure Geyser” 1971 {Rubble} 58ºC Seep discharge (est 1/8 gpm) All of the basin & vents are lined with 30-40cm long filimentous algae covered bacteria ranging from creamy white in the warmest portions to orange-brown-red like the color of an Irish setter dog.
31075 20 May 1983 @ 1200 --- research-mab May 20 1983 - no time noted - Disturbance!... Rubble Geyser – dormant, algae in vent alive and well.
31245 20 Feb 1982 @ 1200 --- research-mab February 20 1982 - no time noted - Rubble Geyser 144º & still erupting
31224 15 Feb 1982 @ 1200 --- research-mab Feb. 15, 1982 - no time noted - There is a new feature in the back basin that has been steadily growing since late summer. This feature is about 15 yds S.W. of Palpitator Spring & is right on the corner of where the boardwalk goes out to Palpitator. {moonlight group mab? } Its temperature is 202º & it has its own vents that spatter up Sand & gravel. This feature is also receiving the run off from Rubble Geyser which is still active. The ground near it still seems to be fairly stable although the vent is only ~3’ from the trail. By summer the trail may need to be moved depending on what this feature does in the meantime. Another Back Basin Baby.
31187 14 Jan 1982 @ 1200 --- research-mab January 14th 1982 - no time noted - Rubble Geyser – 160º orange coloration, overflow, possibly still erupting. Much less snow in runoff than elsewhere.
4661 15 Nov 1981 @ 1200 --- research-mab 11/15/1981 - no time noted - Rubble The sneaky little devil waited until after Fred & I cleared out (in late Sept) its planned runoff channel & filled in the trench it has dug in the trail before it started erupting again. It has dug a wonderful 6” deep trench (that looks perfect for twisting ankles) down the middle of the trail toward Palpitator. The H20 is clear & 148º. It is currently active & erupting.
4660 10 Aug 1981 @ 1200 --- research-mab 8-10-81 - no time noted - Rubble must be erupting 2-3 times per day since the runoff channel is always wet & my markers are never there when I return. The path was wet almost all the way to Palpitator today so it must put out alot of water.
31494 09 Aug 1981 @ 1200 --- research-mab Sunday August 9, 1981 - no time noted - Rubble Geyser – runoff channel was wet & warm the path was also wet from the overflow

31830 18 Jun 1979 @ 1200 --- research-mab June 18 1979 - no time noted - Rubble Geyser (New Fissure) did not erupt over night.
5020 17 Jun 1979 @ 1800 --- research-mab 06/17/1979 Rubble (New Fissure) Geyser must emit goodly amounts of water judging from the runoff channel it is making in the trail.
5018 15 Jun 1979 @ 1800 --- research-mab 06/15/1979 New Fissure is washing out the trail – it has erupted two previous nights -also called Rubble Geyser
5014 30 May 1979 @ 1210 --- research-mab 05/30/1979 There has been recent runoff from “New Fissure” (or Rubble) Geyser near Corporal. Put a marker on it at 1210.
32242 06 Nov 1978 @ 1200 --- research-mab 11/06/1978 - no time noted - Rubble or New Fissure Geyser had a small amount of scummy brown water in it. Temp 142ºF

5269 31 Jul 1976 @ 1800 --- research-mab 07/31/1976 Rubble Geyser - - has approximately 2-3 inches of water in two separate pools. Feature was seen completely dry during month of June.
5660 27 Aug 1975 @ 0900 --- research-mab 08/27/1975 - inferred morning time no time noted - Rubble Geyser – great deal of overflow from Rubble. The feature’s overflow has flooded the walk below the feature. Evidently this vigorous activity occurred last night or early this morning – { flooded because washout out channel near drain tile, channel now repaired}
5592 14 Jun 1975 @ 1800 --- research-mab 06/14/1975 Watched Rubble “erupt” ~ Area fills to overflowing. Heavy overflow before eruption. About the time overflow reaches the walk, the vent starts bubbling vigorously 6”-24”. Overflow becomes less. Activity stops after a minute or two and what what that remains drains down vent.
5860 07 Jun 1974 @ 1800 --- research-mab 06/07/1974 Observed Dr Morey’s Porkchop, Vixen, Veteran and my “Rubble Geyser” (Hodie’s New Crater Geyser”) in eruption. {no times noted}
6161 18 Sep 1973 @ 1000 --- research-mab 09/18/1973 - no time noted morning - New Fissure Geyser – some water but low level as with Corporal and Veteran also. Marker of brown needles placed in runoff. [rubble]
32817 15 Sep 1973 @ 0945 --- research-mab 09/15/1973 - activity 9:45 - New vent near Corporal although several inches larger is virtually unchanged from first observation. No water can be seen only heard.
34101 07 Sep 1973 @ 1625 --- research-mab 09/07/1973 At 1625 noticed that marker from New Feature G was gone (this also following Veteran eruption) – connection?
33270 31 Aug 1973 @ 1200 --- research-mab 1973 - no time - This spring has been unofficially designated “New Fissure Geyser.” Apparent increase of activity in late August, erupting several times a day to heights of 2-4 feet. [NOTE no date in Thermal Record – EOM]
5975 29 Apr 1973 @ 1800 --- research-mab 04/29/1973 New 1971 Fissure in “eruption” with heavy discharge and splashing up to 2-3 feet in latter half of play. Was accompanied by discharge from Corporal Geyser. {no time}
6339 17 Jun 1972 @ 1415 --- research-mab 06/18/1972 On a tour of the Back Basin this afternoon (2:15-3:15) the following geysers were observed Echinus, Vixen, New Crevice (1’), Veteran (10’ up, 20-25’ out)
34086 08 May 1972 @ 0916 --- research-mab [handwritten pages found in former geo box 72] = New Fissure (unnamed) – NW of Corporal Geyser - -Length 12.5’ - Width 7’ - Depth (at vent) 32” -is aligned w/ Dog’s Leg & Corporal -Vent is in center of east end – roughly triangular: Length 13.5”, Width (max) 7.5”
6568 07 Sep 1971 @ 1015 --- research-mab 09/07/1971 No activity out of either Dr. Morey’s Porkchop or Rick’s new thing {Rubble Geyser} when I checked at 10:15 this morning.
7683 06 Sep 1971 @ 0950 06 Sep 1971 @ 1900 research-mab 09/06/1971 A new thermal feature located about 48 feet north west of the west edge of Corporal Geyser’s pool apparently has increased in activity with much erosion during the night and its first known recent play occurring between 9:40 & 10:10 AM. This is probably an enlargement or extension of the “small {new} vent” which was reported to have started to play in July in the Norris Thermal record. The thermal feature is aligned on a NW-SE direction with Corporal & Dog’s Leg, apparently along a joint, with its greatest dimension in this direction. It is irregular in shape with its present measurements as follows: Length: 11’8” (starting under a “live” small green lodgepole pine on the N.W. to about 1 ½ feet beyond an old dead stump on the SE); width: varying from 34 to 72 inches, and maximum depth: 11 inches. Play was observed at 4:35, 5:24, 6:09, 6:58 (average interval ~~ 48 minutes). The play was preceded by increases in the amount of steam coming out of the ground, then a rapid filling and overflowing – starting first at the SE end, then spreading NW from other low points {filling phase lasting 40-60 seconds}. This was immediately followed by a vigorous boiling action throwing water, sand & geyserite chips to a height of 1 foot. “The eruption”, again starting & ending first at the SE end and starting & ending last at the NW end {duration: 2 minutes}. During the last 30-40 seconds of the play there is rapid draining of the water back into the ground finished off near the NW end by a final bubbling sound down below the surface. It is quite a sensation to set at the edge of the feature and feel the ground below you shaking vigorously! The bottom of the feature is made of small loose geyserite thin plates and porous tabular bodies of small geyserite fragments. R.A.H.
