John Tebby & I walked down and found trees covered in mud, huge mud flows around the boardwalk and a big sink hole in the inside of the boardwalk (NW of the vent). There was a light spatter of mud on the boardwalks as far away as 25 feet. Last recorded eruption {obscured in my captures of the log -will probably find it as I work back in time MAB}

10892 14 May 1972 @ 1000 --- research-mab 5/14/1972 {generic time} Arch Steam Vent {1st observations of the season noting destruction from early Oct 1971 eruption~ 1972 Annual report states it was September {disturbance} activity~~~ included here as some readers of the log may assume a May 1972 eruption.} 5-14-72 Lognote: had one heck of an eruption The erosion in this area is impressive – a new hole opened up to the north and is filled with green water. The trail no longer branches back to the feature
10865 05 Oct 1971 @ 0000 --- research-mab {Seen and photographed Oct 6. eruption presumed night of Oct 5} There was no warning at all to the vent change other than a temperature rise of 1°F on September 12th. When it erupted, the vent was enlarged, its shape changed markedly, muddy water coated the trees clear to the top to a distance of over 80 feet from the vent, the log sign identifying Arch Steam Vent was rolled 30 feet down the slope; in addition mud, pine needles, small logs, and the other debris were washed over the boardwalk below the vent, a gully about a foot in depth was eroded into the hillside, and a small pool to the west-northwest served as a catchment basin for part of the runoff but its level dropped around 2 feet from normal.
