[Geysers] Fan & Mortar 7-18 @ 0531

[Polly Panos]

   This event cycle had a double River Vent pause.  I didn't write down the times (Kitt Barger did), but the cycle was not a very long one.  It was dark for much of it.  Kitt and I heard roaring in Main Vent several times, but we only heard one large splash.  There was little from Bottom Vent during this cycle.  It began to get light before River, High & Gold came on, and the strength and steadiness of those vents were really our first clues that this event cycle was special.  (We had some nice event cycles the day before.)  High went into lock before the eruption.  Fan was steamy and Mortar put on quite a show!  The 5 of us who were there got a bit wet and had a great time!
