[Geysers] Geyser report August 24

[TSBryan at aol.com]

Another disappointing day in the Giant Cage... Yesterday afternoon's Grotto  
turned out to be a marathon that (best guess) ended around 0500 today, thus a  
duration of about 14 1/2 hours. Since we were nearing 7 days for the 
interval,  we waited with bated breath. (well, no -- a lot of talk among a lot of  
people)
 
The recovery hot period began at 1327. At times, Mastiff was suitably high  
and wide, but it simply could not maintain the action. When it began dropping 
to  a flat pool at the 6 minute mark, I (and I know others) had a sinking 
feeling.  Duration 10m 28s, plus a restart for an additional ~5 minutes.
 
Nobody reported any sort of event cycle at F&M.
 
Riverside was way out of the prediction window, erupting at 1004.
 
Daisy 0643ie, 0923, 1138, 1349.
 
Oblong probably erupted around 0730-0800, when everybody was at or near the  
store, and then at 1140.
 
Grand 0531E and 1236 (no details).
 
Castle was 0420E, evidently a major.
 
Info about Geyser Hill is essentially blank, since we were all at Giant.  
There was a Lion called at 0823ie.
 
Down valley, Great Fountain evidently erupted in the vicinity of 1230  (based 
on the prediction board).
 
The "Tangled Creek Geyser" west of White Dome erupted at 1503ie, 1507:01  and 
1509:46 (d ~ 12 seconds).
 
A private, special tour tomorrow, so probably no report from me.
