Drove through Turngain Pass between 1pm to 2pm and visibility was limited, but a small sucker hole allowed for a good view of Eddies and Wolverine. No obvious natural activity was observed during that time. We continued to Portage and saw numerous recent activity including witnessing one large natural near Williwaw Campground.
