Not as much of an 'eruption' as seen on my last visit-but could be worth watching. I didn't make it back there to see it again. Be sure to look there when you drop into Porcelain.

6560 22 Jul 1971 @ 1800 --- research-mab 07/22/1971 Other changes have been noticed around Ledge & Valentine Geyser; one is that the hole in the side of the hill west of Valentine is larger with water in the bottom of it; Jetsam Pool has a greater discharge (over 2X than before the eruption of Ledge, also the point of greatest boiling has shifted in part from east of center to the north west edge and then shifted back again.
6597 07 Sep 1970 @ 1800 --- research-mab 09/07/1970 Jetsam pool has been starting to clear up in the past couple of weeks,
6618 01 Sep 1970 @ 1300 --- research-mab 09/01/1970 A survey of pools and geysers in the area made during the {Ledge} eruption showed that Jetsam Pool had a larger volume (3 times) of run-off than usual. Basin was about completely drained with a small amount of water splashing about in the bottom of its fissure. As I write this at 3:55 there is still a considerable amount of steam still emerging under pressure from the Ledge geyser.
6612 15 Jul 1970 @ 1800 --- research-mab 07/15/1970 Jepsam pool {Jetsam} is full again, the heavy bubbling activity has shifted toward the middle & east end & the surface has an oily texture.
6611 14 Jul 1970 @ 1800 --- research-mab 07/14/1970 Jepsam pool {Jetsam} is becoming slightly more active like in June. The water level of the pool which had been practically full for the past couple of weeks appears to have dropped 2-3 inches since yesterday.
6608 21 Jun 1970 @ 1800 --- research-mab 06/21/1970 {Jetsam} is very full but height of eruption down. {no time}
6607 20 Jun 1970 @ 0730 --- research-mab 06/20/1970 Jepsam pool {Jetsam} up to level which covers the pool floor. Porcelain drainage stream below it was very muddy again.
6606 19 Jun 1970 @ 1800 --- research-mab 06/19/1970 Jepsen Pool {Jetsam} ejected muddy water 20-30 feet in AM, water level down considerably but up almost to June 18 level at 9:45PM. Porcelain drainage cloudy in AM, clear at 9:25 PM
6605 18 Jun 1970 @ 1800 --- research-mab 06/18/1970 Jepsen Spring [Jetsam} 198ºF became very active yesterday throwing very muddy water up to 6-8 feet at highest. A lot of the muddy water was sloshed out, making part of the drainage stream for Porcelain Basin turbid.
