I drive through centralia a lot, the vents for sure still steam on the right day

These were the ones across from the cemetery. The maps show an active vent further East. Does it depend on weather at all? After a rain?

I notice them when’s it cooler out and mostly on big mine run leaving centralia, if you look up into the woods from the road they are usually steaming pretty good. Also if you stick your hand up to some of the vents, you can very much feel heat from the mine.
