[Geysers] Geyser report June 26

[TSBryan at aol.com]

So to speak, there were two "failures" today.
 
At Fan and Mortar, there was a strong event cycle, strong enough to lead  
some viewers to don their rain gear. There was a double River Vent pause  
accompanied by strong Main Vent splashes (at least twice over the rocks into  East 
Vent) and short eruptions by Bottom Vent that were good enough to send  water to 
the river. Once Gold and High came on, they maintained steady jetting  about 
4 feet high for fully 9 1/2 minutes. Alas, no eruption. For the full  cycle, 
River off to River off, 76 minutes.
 
At Grotto-Giant, Grotto started a marathon at about 1415 yesterday, and  that 
ended at about 0615 today, so a marathon duration of 16 hours. As happened  
last week, the recovery period was short, at about 6 1/2 hours, as the recovery 
 hot period began at 1244. Although Mastiff did occasionally surge to at 
least 4  feet and briefly got fairly wide, it couldn't sustain the activity. 
Feather and  Feather Satellite, too, were rather weak throughout the hot period. 
Duration 9m  29s, no eruption.

Artemisia 1130, duration at least 23 minutes.
 
Daisy 0651, 0921, 1139 and 1416.
 
Oblong was 0738ie and 1259.
 
Grand was called at 0635ns and then 1338 (-1Q).
 
Castle at 1152 was a major following an overnight minor.
 
Spending most of my time down basin, the only Plume interval I recorded was  
of 48 minutes.
 
Enroute out, I saw an eruption of Gemini at 1431. I already knew that Pink  
Cone was 1429ie (steam). Labial appeared to be some time post-eruption at 1438, 
 when it puffed a fair amount of steam with no water visible.
