4721 08 Sep 1998 @ 1800 --- research-mab 9/8 Dog leg looked odd today. Instead of filling quietly after Corp’s eruption, it had rapid boiling out of 2 vents. Hmmm
30024 19 Jun 1996 @ 1200 --- research-mab 6/19/1996 - no time noted - Dog Leg is very low but Corporal and Veteran seem about normal.

Foot prints covering water flowing makes point towards the possibility of a major eruption last night. Dogs Leg (170ºF) bubbling hard before Corporal eruption. As Corporal erupts, Dogs Leg drained with loud gurgling. Corporal temp ie 176ºF. It seemed to me that the odor of H2S was stronger in the basin this evening.

32419 14 Jul 1976 @ 1720 --- research-mab July 14 1976 - inferred approx time - Dog’s Leg - - acts in sympathy with the eruptive phase of Corporal. Near the end of Corporal’s most vigorous eruptive activity Dog’s Leg is devoid of water. Immediately after the eruption ceased in Corporal Dog’s Leg filled. Dog’s Leg remained at least partially filled until Corporal again resumed its vigorous eruption some 18 minutes later.
32933 28 Sep 1972 @ 1200 --- research-mab 09/28/1972 - no time noted - Watched another exciting eruption of Corporal. I’ll only add that while pool is draining, the “Dogleg” makes a gurgling sound.
