[Geysers] Geyser Report 4-4-07

[Mike Keller]

I was able to spend a few hours in the Upper Basin today:

 

Beehive-the small bubblers around the cone were very active when I went into
the basin around 1400, but Beehive had not erupted when I left the area at
1530.

 

Grand erupted at 1511 (T2Q) with a duration of 9m 50s.

 

Rift Geyser started at 1507.  West Triplet was 1440ie.

 

Sawmill was in eruption at 1430, but was off by 1500.  Penta does not look
like it has erupted recently.

 

Giant does not appear to have erupted since the 3/22 eruption (I may have
the date wrong here as I am typing this from memory).  Grotto appeared to be
in the early stages of a marathon at 1455, and there was evidence of a
recent hot period at Giant.

 

Black Diamond and Wall Pool were both clear when I went by them today.
"Salt and Pepper" are erupting as much as 6 to 8 feet high and almost as
wide at times now.

 

I spent about 15 minutes in the Avoca/Silver Globe area.  Silver Globe
"Cave" is erupting perpetually to a foot and overflowing steadily into the
crater next to it.  Silver Globe Spring is still dormant and is about 6 feet
down.  Avoca was sending spray as much as 6 feet high every few seconds.

 

There were large grizzly tracks in the snow on the boardwalk from the bridge
at Biscuit Basin to Wall Pool that went off to the north.
