Roadie,

I am so happy to see this activity. On my spring visit, it was way quiet in that part of the basin. Fireball wasn't doing anything more than a wisp of steam, and Constant was doing brief bubbles, with nothing I would classify as an "eruption".

I wonder if the big rain a day or two earlier helped restore their vigor?

This, along with your Whirligig example, illustrate the ongoing dynamism that makes Norris so unique among geyser basins. I would also draw a parallel to the terraces of Mammoth, where the activity keeps shifting, with dramatic, visible results.

This made my morning!
