[Geysers] Geyser report Friday May 23

[TSBryan at aol.com]

The first event seen today at Giant was a very weak hot period at 0828.  
Feather to maybe 2 feet plus SW vents; Mastiff never made it higher than perhaps  
6 inches below overflow. Bijou did turn off, after Mastiff was well up but  
before Feather, then turned on before Feather was off. Duration = 1m  28s.
 
The next event was a footbath at 0955; Bijou stayed on. The next was a  
"bubblebath" at 1110 -- I called it that because water rose to about 1 foot  below 
overflow in Mastiff but it did not stop depth-charging -- no  high-water 
boiling! Bijou stayed on.
 
Most likely the next event was at about 1229, when we first saw jetting  from 
back Mastiff, then for 2 minutes or so boiling in front Mastiff. That's all  
we know, since we were all at Grand. But Bijou stayed on.
 
And a continuing answer -- today some overflow from North Purple, none from  
South.
 
>From Grand, when the steam parted, we saw Grotto Fountain 1307ie and Grotto  
1307ns.
 
F&M markers in place.
 
Riverside 1248.
 
Daisy 0749, 0952, 1154. We all missed the next Daisy as we headed for the  
just-opened Lower Store immediately after Grand.
 
Oblong 1025 and huge.
 
Grand 0446E and 1326 (T2C).
 
Castle 1154 major -- this was one of those that considered being a minor,  
stopping after about 4 1/2 minutes, but then restarted a minute or two  later.
 
No Lion call today.
 
Aurum 0925.
 
Depression 1132ns.
 
Beehive again in the night, and no splashing was seen until  afternoon.
 
Plumes early gave intervals of 57, 61, and 56 minutes.
 
The Lower Store opened at 1300 today, now will apparently be open from 0730  
to 1800.
 
'Tis all for today.
