In to the basins late, out early to plant the plants bought yesterday in
Bozeman. Not a whole lot of reason to stay in...

 

Giant celebrated interval day #5 with a Grotto marathon (presumably, since
Grotto apparently started around 0530 and was still going at 1100).

 

Castle had a 5 1/2 minute minor at 1033.

 

Plume had intervals of 61 and 65 minutes. Those are the only ones I wrote
down.

 

Lion erupted at 0816ie (not initial?) and 0939.

 

Sue was beside herself when Beehive erupted at 1105 with no Indicator.
Interval 24h 06m.

 

Having double-checked the USGS map, I can state that this morning at 0742 I
saw Oakleaf Spring in eruption, splashing perhaps 2 feet high. It caused me
to pull over to look to be sure I was seeing splashing. Now, having taken a
look at both Marler and Whittlesey, I can note that although Weed reported
it in 1883 to "boil vigorously," it has no prior record of eruptions (not
even after the '59 earthquake). Yay. Where is Oakleaf? In the Thud Group,
where only Kidney Spring is farther north among those springs.
