[Geysers] Geyser report September 1 and 2

[TSBryan at aol.com]

Yesterday a bunch of us -- myself, Ralph Taylor, Dick Powell, Ralph Friz,  
and KC and Julie Thomson -- went into Sentinel Meadows as a monitor was placed  
on Iron Pot. And, lo, Iron Pot was in eruption at our arrival. After poking  
around a bit, among other things seen that The Bulgers are active plus several  
strong boiling eruptions of Steep Cone, we went on over to Queen's Laundry, 
and  then out the long way, via the Fairy Meadows Group of hot springs where we 
saw  several perpetual spouters and watched Column Spouter.
 
Plume woke up yesterday, with only two observed eruptions (apparently, and  
believed to have been a closed interval) at 1127 and 1720. It was seen just 
once  today prior to my 1400 departure, at 0949. So it seems to be barely there.
 
Today's Beehive would seem to have been an interval of about 23 hours.  
Indicator was 14 minutes; West Bubbler started bubbling 40 minutes before the  
Indicator.
 
There was some wind today, but not strong other than a few brief gusts, so  
Daisy's interval was 3h 21m.
 
Giant Hot Period, marathon-recovery style, was just after noon ie and had a  
duration of greater than 7 minutes. But we at Grand never saw anything by  
Mastiff.
 
"tis all for this time.
