Fan and Mortar start was 1253 from a lock. Duration was 34 minutes.
Once the minor vents were in a lock, East Vent started, and after what
seemed like an eternity (probably only 10 seconds) Main Vent joined in
with Mortar. Mortar was VERY impressive this eruption. Lower Mortar
joined in with excellent water unlike the last eruption. I was able to
get down there after lunch in the Employee Dining Room and get back
with plenty of time to spare before work started at 1345. What a day
to begin work!
