[Geysers] Geyser report July 27

[TSBryan at aol.com]

My day started with the second burst by Great Fountain, somewhat foggy but  
the top of the steam nicely pink by the rising sun. Start time was 0554.
 
Crack is still active, but the intervals appear to be near 8 hours.  
Durations are 6 to 7 minutes, and the height I guess around 6 feet. Today it  erupted 
at 1345, per Lynn.
 
Fountain erupted at 0824ns and 1148, 3h 24m being the shortest (?) of  2006.
 
In the afternoon, I had to wait about a minute to see Logbridge, D ~  31s.
 
In the UGB, Plume produced consecutive intervals of 54, 53 and 59  minutes.
 
Beehive apparently erupted at 0316ie (heard, not seen). That was ann  
interval somewhere in the neighborhood of 13 hours -- Giantess effect, for  sure.
 
Grand was at 0812. That interval was 10h 20m. The eruption was a T2C but  had 
a duration of only about 9 1/2 minutes.
 
Oblong was 0640ie and 1251, interval 6h 11m.
 
Daisy gave an interval of a little more than 3 hours, this in a nearly  
windless (hot, cloudless -- 84 degrees in West at 1515) day.
 
Grotto was in marathon yesterday. The time it quit is unknown (in the  
night). The post-marathon Grotto Fountain was at 1014 (D = 19m) and Grotto at  1030. 
This Grotto, as seems increasingly typical, had a short duration of 10  
minutes, and the following two hours (until I departed) was punctuated by  
frequent, but weak and brief, South Grotto Fountains.
 
Today, before and after the Grottos, Giant had observed hot periods at  
0716ns, 0838, 1005, 1128, 1225, and 1336. All were less than 5 minutes long  (most 
much shorter) and weak.
 
Notable????? is that at 1203ie for a duration longer than or equal to 3  
minutes I saw North (yes, North) Purple Pool erupting 1 to 2 feet above its  rim.
