I sent this out Friday morning, but it was early in the morning and I mistyped the "to" address.  So, I'm adding in observations from Friday as appropriate.
Thursday, June 22
 
I spent the day in the Lower Basin, including 2 sessions in the Pink Cone group totalling 10 hours. Thursday:I did see two eruptions of Pink--each with duration 10 1/2 minutes, separated by 6 hours 46 minutes.  I left shortly after the first eruption to monitor Great Fountain, and didn't get back until 3 hours 22 minutes after the start of the first eruption.  So, the 6h46m could have been a double interval.  I did stay for 4 hours after the second eruption and Pink had not yet erupted again.  Ralph downloaded the monitor on Pink today (but the first eruption I saw will be on today's download and the second eruption isn't) so he'll have some statistics available soon.
 
Friday:  I didn't see any eruptions of Pink. Thursday:I got two closed intervals on Labial.  The first was 5h05m--not the shortest I've ever seen, but certainly a short interval.  The second interval was 6h53m.Friday:  one closed interval of 5h54m and the next interval was less than 5h4m. I have plenty of Box and Bead intervals--nothing unusual to note with either one of them.  I also have plenty of White Dome intervals, with nothing unusual to note.Dilemma would occasionally have heavy steam and two or three times I heard gurgling, but I never saw any water droplets above ground level.Thursday:  Narcissus--7:11ie, 9:15ns, break, 15:29ie, break (I parked up by Shelf Spring to time Bead to the nearest second), 19:30ns.  Ralph also downloaded the monitor on Narcissus today.
 
Thursday:  Pink Cone--Closed interval of 20h47m.
Friday:  Pink Cone--Closed interval of 21h28m, duration 100 minutes
 
Gemini was active on Friday.  Every time I drove past starting with an eruption at 06:04, and ending with an eruption at 21:56.  Intervals were 7 to 14 minutes.
Lemon Pool has been full and overflowing every time I've driven past it.
 
Ralph said Logbridge is erupting about every half hour except when it decides to skip an eruption.
 
Great Fountain is averaging about 12 hours.  I haven't been getting many closed intervals because I haven't been going out at midnight.  I did go out last night because I expected an 11 hour interval (actual interval was 10h45m) since Great Fountain only had 4 bursts on the 11:04 eruption.
 
Fountain intervals have shortened up this week, with the exception of the long interval the morning of the independent eruptions of Morning's Thief.  Intervals are usually between 4 1/2 and 6 hours.Lynn Stephens
