[ELIZABETH MEDLEY]

Thanks for the fire report. We will check for closures before leaving in two weeks, just to make sure we can enter the West Entrance on our way to Madison.

  A fairly ordinary day in the basin, with one particular exception.

  That being... at Fan & Mortar, at 1353 following Bottom Vent eruptions and Main Vent splashing and then a River Vent start, High and Gold came on. Thanks to Dean for calling the progression. Water levels remained good in H and H for several minutes. They then died down and came back, died down and came back. At 20 minutes, water still looked pretty good but at about 21 minutes the vents finally died. More than once on those "restarts" it seemed as if Fan was about to go into a lock. But nope.

  Grotto started a marathon at about 0600 -- Bijou was effectively dead by about 1030.

  Artemisia was 0930ie, apparently producing an interval of (yes) about 31 hours.

  Daisy was 0704, 1018 and (I think) 1337 (I was riding the bike and didn't write it down right away).

  Oblong at 1019 was the only one while I was in the area.

  Grand was 0429E and then thrilled us at 1310 (V5/T2*Q).

  Castle had a major at 1041.

  After sitting on Aurum since near 0700 (when it was splashing nicely), the Millers finally got it at 1325.

  Great Fountain was 1219. Fountain was 1011ie. At 0801, I saw the geyser out along Tangled Creek splashing to a foot or so -- to my knowledge, we've seen nothing from it since early May.

  Note that several fires are burning in the park. Columbine 2 fire is threatening to close East Entrance road. Huckleberry fire a ways west of South Entrance also flared up today. We also today have a fire a few miles west of West Yellowstone.
