[Geysers] Geyser report June 8

[TSBryan at aol.com]

Although I was in the park today, I actually have little to report -- saw a  
lot of geysers but mostly with no intervals. So those probably of  more  
interest to some:
 
Had Giant not erupted yesterday, I would have been interested in today's  
Grotto-Giant activity. Suffice to say that the system was fully recovered by  
0830 today, when there was a rather strong hot period followed by intense  
depth-charging. I saw another decent hot period at 1111ie. I don't know what  might 
have happened in between, except this: Grotto was being wierd, with  repeated 
frequent South Grotto Fountains underway as early as 0830. Grotto  Fountain 
didn't start until 1104ns, the Grotto with a weak start (no huge  preliminary 
surge) at 1108.
 
Daisy was on long mode, with eruptions at 0721 and 1055.
 
Oblong was at 0700 but not again until after I left the area near  noon.
 
The marker on Penta that I'd placed about a week ago was finally missing  
today. Marker replaced.
 
I never saw Grand, nor Castle.
 
But I did see a wonderful superburst at Great Fountain, in the early part  of 
the eruption that started at 1351 (OV=91, P=0). Interestingly, the huge blue  
bubble did not produce a spectacular burst. The superburst was about a minute 
 later with no warning whatsoever, rising (up and up and up) from an "empty"  
crater. It was spectacular, and rather strange, especially since the wind 
blew  it toward White Dome and therefore did not wet the road at all.
 
White Dome was being rather errating, with definitely-closed interval  
eruptions at 1224, 1315, 1332 and 1416.
 
Gemini was quiet.
 
Jim saw Pink Cone at 0457 ie, so there's an ie-to-ie interval of  around 20 
hours.
 
Jim also had Fountain at 0512ie, and I saw the steam cloud at 1255ie.
