The name of Yellowstone National Park's "Mud Volcano" feature and the surrounding area is misleading; it consists of hot springs, mud pots and fumaroles, rather than a true mud volcano. Depending upon the precise definition of the term mud volcano, the Yellowstone formation could be considered a hydrothermal mud volcano cluster. The feature is much less active than in its first recorded description, although the area is quite dynamic. Yellowstone is an active geothermal area with a magma chamber near the surface, and active gases are chiefly steam, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide. However, there are some Mud Volcanoes and Mud Geysers elsewhere in Yellowstone. One, the "Vertically Gifted Cyclic Mud Pot" sometimes acts as a geyser, throwing mud up to 30 feet high.

Found a break in the rain this morning to go out for a slip n’ slide...
The wet and algae-covered wooden creek bridges are particularly slippery. One of the dawgs went airborne and landed in the creek bed. It was the third creek jump of the season, an initiation ritual of sorts. The most dramatic example was a certain Amazonian who did a mid air leap off the bike to grab an overhead branch and slow her 10’ fall.
Gunnery Sergeant Chad Webb, administrative chief with Marine Corps Logistics Base Barstow, catches his breath after finishing the second annual Barstow Mud Run held May 11 at the city’s sports complex. The race featured mud pits, sprinkling water, and other obstacles to ensure its participants soaked up some mud.
Have you ever felt frustrated enough to want to throw something, make a big mess and not clean up? THIS is the event that makes it OK!
Welcome to the annual Wayne County Mud Day, held at Hines Park in Westland, Michigan near Detroit. For two hours the water is blasting liquid happiness on scores of happy kids of all ages.
Someday, water will be more valuable than gold. But the fun and shared experiences this event produces are PRICELESS.
