I was in the area around Jan 2, and found the swimming pool to be dry. The springs are still going strong and nice and warm. Just about bath-tub size.
Also found a talc drift almost sealed closed with warm, moist air flowing out of it. We explored it a short ways and had fun slipping around in the warm talc. Walked out with a white powder coating!
Definatly not camera friendly.
