[Geysers] Geyser report July 4

[TSBryan at aol.com]

Happy 4th! I missed yesterday's 1925 (interval 16d 00h 05m) Giant after  
having driven a "trip from Hell" tour. But...
 
Giant has recovered _very_ quickly. At 0741 this morning, I found Mastiff  to 
be depth-charging accompanied by jetting in Catfish. I interpret this as  
having just missed seeing a bathtub -- there had not been a hot period as there  
was no runoff. However, then hot periods were seen at 1206 (d~2 min) and 1329  
(d>3 min with Mastiff to about 2 feet). We all agree that this is an  
extraordinarily rapid system recovery.
 
Working back up basin today:
 
The marker at Fan and Mortar remains in place.
 
Grotto Fountain was at 0824ie, Grotto at 0827.
 
Daisy had intervals of 2h 09m and 2h 21m.
 
Oblong was at 0804 and 1326 (I = 5h 22m).
 
Grand was 0455E and 1154 (I = 6h 59m, 1 burst).
 
Castle had a short duration minor at 1348.
 
Beehive made us wait until 1245 (I = 25h 11m) and had a 12 minute  Indicator.
 
The only three Plume intervals I recorded were of 58, 61 and 55  minutes.
