[Geysers] Geyser Report - 4-16-06

[Matthew McLean]

Hello all,

A quick report for today-

Dome still active but all subterranean from what I saw

Beehive quiet around 1530

Depression and Aurum both post eruptive at 1540 and 1545 respectively

Riverside was 1555ie from near Grand (but was just finishing at 1615 so that 
was probably a near start time)

Oblong was post eruptive (a boiling fill 2 feet down) at 1605.

Chromatic in control

Daisy 1603

F&M marked

Grotto - possible overnight marathon - quiet when I was there and there was 
no water in Bijou the whole time I was at Giant.  Also, Giant's cone was 
very quiet the entire 45 minutes I was there (approx 1605 to 1650).  Another 
thing was that it appeared that there was no water in South Purple Pool 
across the way (Perhaps this has to do with recovery after the eruption the 
other day - I am sure that there are many out there who would know about 
this better than me)

On my way back I arrived at the Sawmill complex around 1700 to find it in a 
Tardy Cycle.  I was chased off about 35 minutes later by lightning and hail. 
  When I left, Penta's pool was near overflow with heavy convection over the 
vents each time the pool rose and I would not have left it under normal 
circumstances.  The was no marker on it when I arrived and the runoff 
channel appeared recently used (very wet!! but it did rain earlier in the 
day so hard to tell for sure)

That's all for now!  Take care,

Matthew
