Nice, deep, sea glass blue, roiling in middle, water lapping at all edges. Flow out of established channel. Nice orange in front to right area where water looks to have been but now just damp with no or little standing water. Steam increases when Steamboat does a good splash. Steam also increases at Echinus and Crater Spring at same time. |

CS has been in heavy overflow for past two days, more water in every direction than l remember ever seeing, other than possibly during the last interval. There is a new,, bright green channel flowing into the "muddy pool" from Cistern. The muddy pool is no longer muddy, but clear and growing green algae on the bottom, and is establishing a new runoff, closer to the boardwalk and steerage. |
