I want to see one of these guys get into a heated debate with a Douglas Squirrel and see who comes out on top.

Oh no kidding! Yeah I bet that was me! 😂. Small world indeed!

Seeing as it's the only regular performer at Norris, Vixen always has a small crowd 😂

Indeed.

I can answer that! Have you ever heard of a Deep Drain?Deep-drains occur when Sawmill has a exceptionally long eruption of at least several hours and water in the group drains out of sight. Uncertain usually erupts (but not always) within 1-2 cycles of the system recovering from a Deep Drain.

Nothing published yet. Maybe down the road. I just did this for fun since I hadn't done anything to my data yet from that day. Might be adding more features and eruptions later. I walked the Sawmill loop every 10 minutes for 8 hours. 😮‍💨

Note the cycles corresponding to a rise in water level (and eventual eruption) of Spasmodic Geyser in grey. Closely associated with Spasmodic and considered the dominant geyser in the complex is it's namesake, Sawmill (in Blue)

Don't forget Minute Man's Pool in front! Can be used as an indicator of when Minute Man's next series will be. And also can erupt on its own!

The opening of this movie is till the best opening sequence of anything I've ever seen in theatres. No comparison.

Most underrated thermal area in the park. I always stop to do at least one loop when I visit each year. One of these days maybe something will heat up and erupt out there....
