Back from lunch. The platform was very dry, with some water still in the north catch basins. The wind had kicked up while I was gone. By 1541 water was visible in the vent, doing the wibbly wobbly thing and bobbing and bubbles. Water continue to slowly rise and by 1641 was visible from my chair and water was near the top of the vent. At 1717 water was entering the inner basin. I left at 1800, water was almost coving the inner basin and I had not observed a crash in water level. Sometime between 1330 and 1453 Vixen transitioned from shorts to longs. |

Some small dampness in the north catch pools. This implies that there was an eruption earlier in the day. Also, some light water in the SW catch pools. Water is just visible in the vent. East sinkhole water is slightly down. I left at about 1545 due to high wind and rain. By this point the water in the vent had risen maybe 3 to 4 in inches. |

Arrived 0848 to dry platform including the deep catch basins - slow fill with blips - made steady progress @26-30m fill n drop cycles then @3h dropped to where I first saw it - and repeat - don't mind the wait but want to study the relationship of overflow to start time in different points of the cycle - today it didn't even fill enough to flow out past the west notch let alone SW overflow - for that matter didn't get a start either - left it at 1842 |

@0830. Platform and runoff channels are still bone dry all the way to the river. Sinter covered plants in the runoff channel close to Tantalus Creek are so dry they are brittle to the touch. I don't believe Vixen erupted at all since my last observation yesterday and through the night. @1115 water is up to the hedgehog, it is calm, no bubbles. 1330 Dry platform still! water is fluctuating between covering the hedgehog and to its base. no bubbles. Seems to be fluctuating ~1". Pool just to the east (behind) Vixen is about 8 - 10" below high water mark. 1700 water in about the same place, platform still dry and the pool/hole on the other side of the boardwalk is drying. @1900 water well covering the hedgehog and extends about 4" beyond it. Slight rise and fall in the pool which exposes the "spins on the top of Hedge". still no bubbles, platform still dry. |

Platform still dry. Inferred no eruption. 1307: Water rising. 1326: Hedgehog covered. 1328: Registered 101 degrees on thermal gun, over 5 degrees hotter. Low reading before this was 85, 95 during rises. Sorry it is in F. A kid asked me how hot it was and Celsius doesn't mean anything to them. 1334: Water up & hot, but now about 90. 1338: Water dropping. 1352: Over Hedgehog, 100 F. 1404: Hedgehog top exposed, water dropping. 1427: Highest pool so far.

Arrived to a VERY dry platform and a full pool that was extending into the smaller rocks on the right-front and right side of Vixen’s crater. Over the course of observation, the pool began slowly dropping. Some light convection observed over the vent throughout observation. No bubbles observed. At 09:43, the pool began rising, returning the pool to the level upon arrival. Left the area at 09:50, did not observe an eruption. |

Arrived 0911 to mostly dry platform w/fill 1in below vent rim and proceeded to watch fill/drop cycles with regularity ~ many 22-28min. First overflow in SW channel only moistened the 3rd tier, followed by two more drops all reaching the 3rd tier about an hour apart. Final drop was @ 2047 whereupon I left. Interval then much greater than 11h40m. Learned a few things though! |

Slight gurgle heard at 28 min and small splashes at 36 min - water level not visible - similar to the previous starts but it quieted. By 2 hours totally silent.
Still in a quiet SLOW refill - leaving it at 5h 5 min post eruption interval. Druther have had a closed interval. Also was glad to observe the transition to longs, but would druther have seen it the other direction. |

Vixen got very quiet shortly after the last eruption ended. no gurgling/bubbling sounds and no water observed in the vent. 1408 water visable in the tube but only an occational bubble that comes to the surface. 1415 more frequent bubbles breaking the surface but pool is low (4") in the vent. Arduously slow refill! Pool comes up a few inches and drops one inch - up and inch, down a half; repeats. 1510 pool has filled the smooth area and is beginning to filter into the rocky features on the south edge, very few bubbles breaking the surface. 1542 *yawn-stretch=more-smarties* @1600 pool has SLOWLY come up to the smaller "rocks" on the south end of the platform. A few random bubbles that break the surface and some convection waves. Who will win this wait? |

At 12:50, saw 2 guys at Vixen as I approaced. One was putting out the cigarette he assumed I didn't see from Tantalus Creek. Guys said they hadn't seen Vixen the whole time they waited, which they estinated to be about an hour. It was fullish with water bouncing as I walked away toward Palpitator. |

Vixen in a stall. No steam was seen while walking around back basin. At 13:50 the runoff channels were dry still. Watched it until ~14:50, water levels would pulse up and down with some bubbles. Left and went over toward Veteran and Minute for the next half hour or so staying within view of Vixen. No eruption by the time we left around 15:15. |

looks like its been awhile since the ladt eruption. Main run off channel has just a few areas of dampness. Runoff channel to the west is bone dry. The water level in Vixens pool is high - covers the smooth area and a bit into the rocks. A few sporadic bubbles break the surface. Geyser eggs closest to the bw and a foot beyond are bone dry. no eruption during this observation period. |

Vixen is nearly imperceptibly filling; upon arrival on a 10 minute cycle, thence to a 20 minute cycle. Over 5 hours water would slowly rise, then ebb, but gradually rising. 1115 it was at the inner circle, by 1600 just into the 2nd beach. The rises may have a little visible convection, or subtle palpitating. Very interesting. I think it's about .5 inch per hour, if that. |

Vixen did not erupt today during observation period, Run-off channels are dry. Variable water in neck rose slightly through the day, a few bubbles. |

Making this a Note so it will be easier to find than buried in the data. While standing up looking directly into the vent, in flat light, at 30 seconds into the eruption I clearly saw the white of a large steam bubble rising, when suddenly it disappeared, looking like a balloon being sucked back down the hole. I heard the pop and saw the water level change. I never thought you could "see" an implosion, but that's as close as I have come. |

As I was leaving there were two extremely short eruptions. The first was 5 seconds or less. The second was only slightly longer. |

7-15-2018 CB VIXEN 1825 See Note under Steamboat
Vixen platform & runoff channel is wet, water pooled in its tube but I did not see an eruption in the 15 minutes I observed. Pearl still has a yellow hue. Porkchop water is back up to the rim of the pool. Green dragon runoff is again clear however the runoff channels are coated in brown. Yellow funnel has no visible water but I can hear deep grumbling with splashing down deep. Echinus water level is good with nice runoff and a weak 2 vent boil. (hum!) Crater Spring water is LOW and murky brown/gray. Emerald Spring is the same, clear, green with weak convection waves.

6-27-2018 VIXEN = 1800 CB see Note under Steamboat
Vixen is back to more regular play. The steam vent by Vixen is quieter. Pearl has bubbles breaking the surface. Pork chop is down about 4" from the rim. Green dragon is putting out chocolate brown runoff. Yellow funnel is way low, muddy brown and turbulent. Blue mud steam vents water/mud is not visable. Crater Spring water level is low as is Echinus. Echinus run off channel is dry in many areas. This back basin is much the same as last night except for Vixen. sorry for the long note! Forgot about Emerald. . . cuz it is the same! Boiling in the East thumb, green and fairly clear.

After returning from Whirligig and lunch, discovered someone had thrown a stick at Vixen's vent and threw a penny into Vixen's recycling hole across the boardwalk. Informed two rangers and asked them to remove the objects. |

Vixen drained down in vent, almost out of view. Slow refill with water bobbing and the fill finally reaching first beach. Then, after convective bubbles, a stealth start. |

I sent a 15 year old sciency girl down to Vixen. She reported back, "Vixen is the best geyser I have seen so far." |

Low pool strong nozzle like eruptions with strong forced steam, forced light water, or forced heavy water with no apparent pattern. Have seen this before in May of 2014 but those were separate eruptions, this continued for 6.5 hours. Staff reports it was normal separate eruptions yesterday, all with drains. |
