[Geysers] FAN & MORTAR 14 July 2007 at 1845VR

[MaryBeth Schwarz]

       This evening 14 July, Ranger Tom Kearney called Fan & Mortar 1855ie 
as he finished his Castle Walk at Grotto Geyser.  Visitors said Fan & Mortar 
erupted about 1845.  Tom reported that the bridge was soaked and the 
eruption was near end when he arrived.  Further inspection showed that the 
jugwalk was wet (but not beyond it) from the Spiteful sign to the bridge so 
it appeared that Fan was not as large as in the previous eruption.  The wind 
was light this evening.  Mortar's catch basins were full and the vents were 
steaming.  The Interval was about 3d7h51m.
