[Geysers] Geyser report May 19

[Barger]

     Thanks for the posting Scott, I'm glad I went ahead and left the Park early this afternoon.  Unlike my trip into the Park where I saw a wide variety of animals, I only saw a few bison, deer, and the sow grizzly with her two cubs on the way out.
     Oblong erupted at 0612 ie (ending at 0625) on May 19th.  Mike L. called Lion at 0630ns and 0747.  Beehive erupted while I was watching Jet and taking in the Lower Geyser Basin (since I had only been in the Upper Geyser Basin for my entire trip).  I didn't know that you had seen Fountain at 0914 ie.  A lone bison was eating grass 2 feet from the boardwalk up near the fumerole and after I had observed over 30 people walk past it, stop to take pictures, etc. I left.  It was definitely time to leave the Park.  Hope to see everyone next weekend (weather permitting).  Kitt Barger

  Thanks to Jere, Kitt, Jim, and Mike for some of the following.

  Giant did not erupt -- if a 31 1/2 - plus hour marathon can't do it... Grotto was on last night at 2130. When it quit in the night is unknown, but at some early time (before 0600 I think, Kitt found Bijou, Catfish and Giant already jetting, bursting in Mastiff. However, she was unsure as to whether there had been an actual hot period or not.

  In any case, there was no discernable event until 1036. If this was the recovery hot period, then wheee -- although Bijou did turn off (tah-dah), the hot period involved Feather and SW vents only, duration 2m 15s.

  Next event: hot period at 1218, Feather, SW vents, Bijou off, duration 2m 35s.

  Next: 1328 low and brief footbath, Bijou ON throughout.

  Next: hot period at 1421, Bijou essentially (not 100%) off roughly 10 seconds before Feather started, meaning that it was still on as Mastiff boiled to a foot or so and was just below overflow. Feather, SW, 6 inches in Rust, 4 inches in Cave immediately before the drain. Bijou came on _before_ Mastiff dropped. Duration 2m 48s.

  Guess who ain't a'gonna spend much time a'sittin' in that cage no mo'.

  Nope, no F&M.

  Riverside 0653 and 1334.

  Daisy 0842ie, 0842ie, 1040ns, 1237, 1436.

  Oblong 1249; unconfirmed was that it also erupted somewhere around 0730-0740.

  Grand 0137E and 1006 (1 burst).

  Castle was 0431E, so nothing more on that.

  No Lion called while I was in.

  Aurum 0852 and 1245.

  Beehive's Indicator 1134, Beehive 1147.

  My Plumes were somewhat scattered through the day, but intervals of 57, 61, 50, 124/2, and 58 minutes.

  Fountain was 0914ie as I drove in.
