The main vent of Tantalus was bubbling. The entire pool had a greenish brown color but was clear enough for the main vent to be visible. The adjacent pool to the north was bubbling vigorously and more cloudy and yellow color. Root Pool was the same greenish brown color as Tantalus and high enough for the 2 pools to be connected by several inches of water. |

no change for either Tantalus or Root Pool. Dishwater spring has a vigorous boil in the center and toward the runoff channel, it is overflowing into all the pools beneath it. The new erupter at the base of Dishwater Spring, next to the boardwalk is active, boiling to 3", and mostly clear pool. |

Pool is at about the same level as I've observed since July > low! 2-3" of exposed rim. Today there is a small 2" roiling bubbler on the end of the pool toward Crater Spring. Tantalus pool is a beautiful seafoam green color, my favorite color! Root pool > both pools are connected with water in the channel. water is clear and lime green. Both pools have apple sized bubbles breaking the surface. |

ROOT POOL water level has been fluctuating up and down about 1' in the past few days. One day it's up a foot, the next day it is down a foot. Both pools remain connected via the channel with these fluctuations. It's color is a brilliant seafoam green and the North pool has a small blooping boil. TANTALUS POOL is lower and down 1' below the wet high water mark. It is blue green in color and basically calm. only a few VERY small bubbles are breaking the surface. No activity from the edge features that were active this spring. |

Root pool is down 3' from high water mark. barely any water in the connecting channel. no boil. lime green in color. Tantalus is also very low and just a dribble of overflow into Tantalus Creek. Few bubbles that break the surface in its pool. Features along the island to the north are minimally active. EVERYTHING IS VERY LOW! Dishwater spring is active with a small boil, in light overflow. Muddy pools to the easy at the base of Dishwater have dropped ~8". The pool closest to the trees at DW's base have 2 boiling points. |

Root pool is an opalescent milky blue/ green color with blooping boil in the north pool. Pool level is the same, both pools connected with water in the channel. Tantalus pool is low, slight flow into the creek. Features along the north side by the tree island are not very active and the one sulfur yellow pool is now a light, muddy brown color. Dishwater spring has a very active boil, in overflow and there is a small 8" diameter breakout in the pool at the base of Dishwater spring, toward Tantalus. Breakout has a pretty moderate 2" roiling boil and is filling the pools at its base. |

It has 2 boiling points, 1 on the east end of the pool and one in the middle. 2 side pools on the north side of Tantalus are the same. 1 is sulfur yellow in color with a mild boil, the other to its west is muddy brown and also has a mild boil. Root pool is ~8" higher, lime green in color with a rolling boil in the north pool. Dishwater spring is high with a vigorous boil and overflowing into 1 pool at its base. The surrounding pools at its base were very low on the 26th and have come up a few inches since then. |

Root pool is down ~3' from my last observation. both pools have a minimal boil in them. color is murky green. The new Thing on the north edge of Tantalus pool close to the tree line of the island that divides Steamboats runoff (the delta) is still very active. it seems to cycle a bit from very active, burst ~3', to smaller 1' burst and then cycles back to bigger play. I have not seen it stop completely. Tantalus main pool is low and has a few boiling points with the center vent having a constant minimal roiling boil. |

Root pool water level is high again - 6" below high water mark on the east side of the north pool. North pool has a 4 point boil. Channel is completely covered with water and both pools are again connected and at the same level. water is a cloudy clay color. Tantalus is the ever changing feature! Today the main pool is mostly calm, 4" lower, with a few areas that have very low bubbles breaking the surface. However, On the NE side, 2' away from the runoff channel, there are 2 pools that are constantly and vigorously boiling, throwing water 1' - 1.5'. Dishwater spring is in overflow again. |

Root pool water level is at the channel and is on the rise. Tantalus pool is high and very steamy. Low level bubblers, 1 - 2", in the same areas of the pool as previous days. ** @ 1300 Root pool structure changed at some point between this mornings observation and 1300. A large clump of soil and debris sluffed off the north pool channel, clogging the channel and changing how the 2 pools exchange water. @1300 Tantalus is one large pool with 1 large boil in the center. water level is high. color is similar to dark chocolate. |

arrived this afternoon to find Root pool down to below the channel but appears to be filling. Found Tantalus about 1.5 - 2' below the rim of the pool. Did something big! No obvious sign of an eruption: no splatter spray marks or debris. It is filling from Tantalus creek with multiple boiling areas in the main pool and one in the south runoff channel. I find this fascinating! |

This afternoon it is erupting in what looks like a crack or fisure in the south runoff channel. small boil in the center where yesterday it was the HUGE boil. Another small boil toward the east. pool is high and thick chocolaty brown in appearance. There is a 3' in diameter yellow sulfurous pool on the north end of Tantalus pool that is steaming and had some runoff into Tantalus. The putrid smell is back! |

Tantalus is no longer acting as a mudpot like it was yesterday. The pool is quiet. I observed a small hole immediately east of tantalus after yesterday's 1726 SB push that was bubbling clear water to a couple inches. That hole has since enlarged and is now sitting inside a small crater with a raised edge. It is now perpetually blooping mud or muddy water to a few inches, accompanied by a steam locomotive chugging noise. |

Tantalus spring is calm and no longer erupting. root pool is refilling and the "land bridge" connecting the 2 sides of the pool now has a water channel connecting the 2. The icky H2S smell that permeated this area for the past 3 days has greatly diminished! **1230 > Tantalus has one small boil (2 - 3") on the edge closest to the walkway and the water color is not so muddy brown as the last 2 days. On the Northern edge of the pool there are 2 areas that have sizzling blippy mud features in addition to a sulfurous yellow sizzler about 5' N of the pool and in a runoff channel that was first observed yesterday by TC. |

As seen from boardwalk nearest Tantalus Geyser, it was spouting/splashing dark, muddy water ftom two spots in muddy spring continuously. Lovely aroma wafted my way while I sat nearby watching Steamboat minor play. CB told me she saw it doing muddy splashes on 6-27-19 too. Tantalus Creek water muddy at bridge near Vixen. Collected gray mud at edges and high spots in creek. |

Decker was drained down 2½ feet but showed no signs of an eruption.
Water from Echinus raised the level about 2 or 3 inches. This leaves several questions, 1) when did the drain down occur? 2) How far down had it drained? 3) was there an eruption someplace? Decker filled again at 4:15 pm. |

07/30/1967 Decker Geyser began boiling water to a height of 1½ ft from a new vent near the rift vent. This is a rift about 4 ft long following the curve of the pool. It is in the same position as a small vent that developed during the first eruption but never amounted to much. |

07/30/1967 Boiling activity of new vent of Decker Geyser started about 11:00 and ceased a little after 3:10. Water level in the pool began to drop, it fell 5 or 6 inches as activity ceased. Then vent in the middle of the pool began to boil vigorously and the water level rose at 3:18. By 3:25 the pool was almost full; activity was high. Then Echinus dumped into it and cooled it down. The temperature of the new vent was 200º At the same time Echinus measured only 184º about five minutes before an eruption. |

The new geyser is discharging a little gas from the main vent. Aside from that, all is quiet down there. I’d like to propose the geyser be named for Mrs. Decker – perhaps “Mrs Decker’s Geyser” or “Decker’s Geyser” Temperature in main vent 135ºF |
