19283 05 Jul 2018 @ 1201 --- research-mab 7-5-2018 MONARCH 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. https://geysertimes.org/note.php?id=9039
3227 24 Jun 2016 @ 1113 --- David level high. bubbling in larger pool, left side of island. see photo: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ujelang/27505616783/in/dateposted-public/

22237 25 Mar 1978 @ 1800 --- research-mab Mar 25 1978 no specific time Monarch Geyser – clear green water, activity in main vent only. NOTE this date also contains multiple feature temperatures as is common through 70s-90s
22234 25 Aug 1977 @ 0840 --- research-mab 08/25/1977 appprox time Monarch Geyser + Fearless continue very vigorous boiling. Palpitator Spring drained at 8:40.
22233 07 Sep 1976 @ 1800 --- research-mab 9-7-1976 no specific time noted Monarch still pale gray, with lots of gray material in the pool. Water level is up and for the first time this season, bubbling is occurring in both vents.
22231 10 Jul 1976 @ 1800 --- research-mab July 10 1976 no specific time noted New Feature between Monarch Geyser and Minute Geyser. The feature is east of the trail and as you face the runoff channel from Emerald Spring - - this new pool is to the right. Distance from trail is appropriately 30 feet. Water color is cloudy grey and it is hot.
22230 25 May 1976 @ 1800 --- research-mab May 25 1976 no specific time Monarch Geyser is bubbling less in its main vent, while there’s no bubbling at all in the smaller vent.
5687 07 Sep 1975 @ 1800 --- research-mab 09/07/1975 A new spring has opened up in the runoff channel of Emerald due north of Monarch Geyser Crater. All water from Emerald drains down vent.
22229 28 Aug 1975 @ 1801 --- research-mab 8-28-1975 no time noted Monarch Geyser – Again noticed increased activity in the usually less active vent- boiling was higher, more widespread.
22228 28 Aug 1975 @ 1800 --- research-mab 8-28-1975 no specific time Monarch Geyser has returned to its usual shade of green.
5655 24 Aug 1975 @ 1800 --- research-mab 08/24/1975 Monarch Geyser – boiling has decreased in vent lying between the 3 large rocks. Is back to normal. Same with front vent.
5644 21 Aug 1975 @ 1800 --- research-mab 08/21/1975 Monarch Geyser – looks almost the same as it did immediately after the June 30th quake. Material of a deep charcoal gray color now covers the pool area, runoff channels. & makes the water in the vents quite cloudy. Great increase in activity in vent lying between the 2 large rocks. Large boiling spot located near edge of pool is perhaps 2’ in diameter & 6” high. Scattered bubbles rising in rest of vent. In “front” vent, (main pool area), boiling has also increased in size of area boiling as well as vigor.
5664 05 Aug 1975 @ 1800 --- research-mab 08/05/1975 Monarch Geyser Crater producing some kind of film on the water.
22227 14 Jul 1975 @ 1800 --- research-mab 07/14/1975 no specific time generic end of day time Minute Geyser has cleared up almost completely as have Monarch and Palpitator.
5647 21 Jun 1975 @ 1530 21 Jun 1975 @ 1630 research-mab 08/21/1975 What’s Going On? Monarch is spouting steam bubbles from its quiet side as much as it does from its active side. Cistern appears to be more violent, and Emerald has gone crazy. (Observed in Walk 6, 3:30 to 4:30)
22226 07 Jun 1975 @ 1800 --- research-mab 6-7-1975 generic end of day time- no time given Monarch – green color beginning to return to water
6525 10 Sep 1971 @ 1800 --- research-mab 09/10/1971 Monarch Geyser Crater – the water is still a yellow-green in color, apparently from the sulphur down below but today has started to become slightly turbid from the boiling activity; it has been increasing in vigor very slowly over the past 3-4 weeks.
7408 21 Jul 1968 @ 1800 --- research-mab 07/21/1968 Monarch – H2O from vents surging 5-6 inches. Temp 199.7F
7329 08 Sep 1967 @ 1800 --- research-mab 09/08/1967 Monarch Geyser Whereas Monarch appeared to be a quiet, almost stagnant, pool early this summer, it is now a very clear green color and boiling vigorously. Two vents boiled continuously on the east side of a rock that extends across the pool dividing it into two large rifts. The vents are 198.8ºF and boil up 3-4 inches. No record was made of Monarch early this summer because it showed very little activity. Correction: Ed Leigh recorded 194º on June 22 and ph5 at 140º
6764 16 Oct 1964 @ 1800 --- research-mab 10/16/1964 Monarch is clear & there is very little agitation at 187º
