[Geysers] Geyser report July 29

[TSBryan at aol.com]

This might well repeat some previous reports by other gazers... I was into  
the park for a while today, but spent much of the time in the Lower Basin. 
Here,  then, a very basic report adding to yesterday's. I have a tour tomorrow and 
 again on Monday, Sunday being up in the air right now.
 
Beehive yesterday erupted produced an interval of just 13h 22m (Indicator  of 
14 min), but today was approaching 18 hours when I left the area.
 
Plume is still dormant.
 
Grand had intervals of 7h 47m, 6h 23m, and 6h 56m.
 
Fan and Mortar erupted this morning at 0727, an interval of 2d 16h 45m. I  
was told that this time there was 110 minutes of "event" warning, in the way of  
four (4) pauses, all of which involved significantly strong Main Vent  
splashing.
 
Dick Powell reported that Green Spring erupted sometime before 0800 on July  
26, with enough discharge to kill several fish in the stream.
 
And yesterday, at 1636 ie and 1713 Silex Spring was active. The initial was  
said to have been at least 30 feet high.
 
This morning I went into Pocket Basin/River Group. Managed to see Pocket  
Geyser erupt (as did Butch Bach's "Mud Pot Special" hike). Four or more geysers  
are active in the upper spring area east of Fortress Geyser. Unfortunately, 
Dark  Pool  Blurble and BRain are NOT active -- that stretch near the reiver was 
 the least active I've ever seen it. Active elsewhere in the area are my  
RVG-1 (1 to 2 feet, seen from across the river) and RVG-4 (little more than  
bubbling overflow but quite frequent I think). The mud pots, interestingly, are  
either dry or rather fluid. The vertically gifted cyclic mudpot was doing very  
little and, judging by the walls of its crater, it has not had significant  
action in quite a while. The best mud pot in the area was --- well, really,  
there wasn't one that was particularly exciting at all.
