All times, unless otherwise noted, are from Saturday, August 1.

Happy August! The day turned out to be quite nice. It was a clear, and
somewhat cool morning that turned into a wonderful afternoon.
Unfortunately, I was inside most of the afternoon, but the geysers
continued on letting the gazers enjoy the weather even more.

A group consisting of nine of us (assuming I can count) made a trip to
the River Group this morning. Dark Pool was having some nice eruptions
around 17-18 minutes apart, but other than that, I am really not one
to report on this group either, considering that it was my first time
out there. Again, I will leave a report on activity to someone with
more knowledge of the area. However, I will say that contrary to
yesterday's report, there was no significant wash or evidence of
increased runoff from Azure Spring. So that's that, and onto the Upper
Geyser Basin:

Beehive erupted at 0537 (Ind. 0521) for an interval of 13h27m and
again at 1752 (Ind. 1739) for an interval of 12h15m.

Grand had eruptions at 0816 (T2Q) and 1815.
Castle minored at 0713 and was seen 1221ie (perhaps ns) and was a major.
Daisy 0718, 0938, 1147, 1357ie, 1604, 1846ie
Riverside 1041, 1630
Plume intervals seemed to be around the 60m mark, I was not able to
record this afternoon's times
Grotto 0712ie, and again later in the day I presume since Rocket had a
major at 1720
Lion 0619, 0739ie, 0854, 1708, 1835ie
Oblong 0947, 1611
Depression 1021 (i=13h28m)
Rift 1513ie
Artemesia 1505
Aurum 1600

And also from the Lower Geyser Basin:
Great Fountain 0629, 1653 (of=76, p=0)
Fountain 0651ie, 1306
