[Geysers] Geyser report Frid June 6

[Lynn Stephens]

 saw bursts at 0616 and 0631. One jet reached 30 to 40 (50? in a lot of steam) feet high. However, the durations were shorter than yesterday, being about 4 1/2 and 5 minutes. And sure enough, by 1026 (and 1034, 1041, 1042, 1051, 1055, and 1106) the action was erratic, generally lasted less than one minute, and consisted entirely of boiling confined to within the crater -- no bursting whatsoever. And so, (apparently) thus endeth the wild phase after something in the neighborhood of 48 hours.

Scott's "Now what?" may have been rhetorical, but for those who have never seen a "recovery" from wild phase, Great Fountain may go into a period of up to several days where it does one false overflow after another after another after another, etc. These false overflows may, or may not, continue for several days.   Finally, with no sign that I've ever figured out (although I've only seen two recoveries from "wild phease" Bot Hoffman told me he'd never been able to figure out a preliminary indicator either), one of the overflows becomes a true overflow and Great Fountain goes back to normal activity.
