All times, unless otherwise noted, are from Tuesday, August 11.

For the second day in a row, it was a gorgeous day. I think today was
probably one of the best days all season in terms of weather. There
was hardly a cloud to be found in the sky until sunset, there was a
little breeze at times, but if you were sitting in a treeless area,
you started to feel the heat.

The only problem with today was that once I got into the Basin, pretty
much everything had erupted for the day. Fan and Mortar had not
erupted as of about 2000. No event cycles all day today. I would not
be surprised if it erupted overnight. Then again, I would not be
surprised if it did not erupt overnight either.

Beehive erupted at 1241 (1226 Indicator) for an interval = 14h32m.
Grand at 1408
Daisy was more erratic than normal today, 0823ie, 1043, 1339, 1610
Grotto was 1353 ie (very close to near start). The eruption ended
somewhere around 1645. Another eruption began at 1810.
Rocket had a major at 1815, then another at 1842. I got to the first
one about 2 minutes in, and was surprised by the second one on my way
back on the boardwalk coming from Oblong. Pleasant surprise!
Lion 1019, 1430
Fountain 1015ie visitor report
Riverside 0659, 1335, 2005. It seems to be throwing in a few more longs now.
Recorded Plume intervals were anywhere from 56 to 61 minutes. Plenty
were missed as well.
Aurum was 1730 (I think that was the called time)
Castle had a major, seen in eruption at 1858
Oblong was 1616ie

Hopefully more geysers will do me some favors tomorrow! If not, I will
be sure to catch an Anemone and a Little Cub before my day is done.
