[Geysers] Geyser report May 27

[TSBryan at aol.com]

Today a day with absolutely no-zero clouds, little breeze (too little at  
times) and a temperature of 71 when I got back to West. A morning of gazing, an  
afternoon with naturalists' training on which (mostly from afar) we saw Plume, 
 Aurum, Castle, Grand, Daisy, Giant Hot Period, and Riverside.
 
Yesterday's Grand, on which I departed upon the D0, turned out to be a  
D6/T1C, interval of 8h 53m. This morning's Grand was D0/G1Q (interval unknown)  
followed by a --2C after just 6h 48m.
 
Daisy had an interval of 2h 40m followed by one of close to or equal  to 3 
hours.
 
Castle was all normal majors for the last day plus.
 
Riverside gave an interval of only 6h 06m.
 
An Oblong interval was 5h 43m.
 
Plume intervals of 65, 111/2, and 58 minutes.
 
Depression was reported in the afternoon.
 
Beehive had been in the early am, probably around 0300 given that the first  
splashing was seen around 1000, so a probable interval on the order of 17 or 
18  hours with Little Squirt active the afternoon and evening before.
 
Aurum erupted a few minutes after noon, behind my back while I was yakking,  
then at 1547, so an interval near 3 1/2 hours.
 
The biggie, perhaps, was the Giant Hot Period at 0910. The duration was  
about 10m 20s and there was super-heavy overflow through most of it, frequent  
surging by Mastiff to 4+ feet, Turtle to maybe 1 foot, and etc. But no eruption.  
This was the post-Marathon recovery. The next hot period, at 1510 (interval  
exactly 6 hours) lasted about 6 minutes and was quite weak.
 
Artemisia's team cloud was sighted at 0900, making the interval 18h 45m  from 
yesterday's steam cloud.
 
Fountain was reported to be on short-mode, but I have no specifics.
