[Geysers] Geyser Report 5/27 Stephens

The weather is like late August, but the days are a lot longer, and there aren't nearly as many visitors.  This morning while I was watching the Pink Cone Group, I must have heard over half a dozen different varieties of songbirds, as well as woodpeckers, sandhill cranes, ravens, and geese.

 

I got a closed interval on Labial--6h43 minutes.  I also got another closed interval on Pink Cone--20h48m, duration 100 minutes.  Pink has been reported once each day since the road opened, but I have no guess on what intervals might be; durations are 11-12 minutes.  I haven't seen Labial's Sat. Vents erupt yet, but also haven't spent all that many hours waiting out there.

 

I saw an eruption of A-0 today.  Logbridge's runoff channel looked wet this morning, but I haven't seen it in eruption yet.  Maybe that will be tomorrow's project.

 

Plenty of wildflowers are in bloom.  In the area around Pink Cone you can find shooting stars, Indian paintbrush, monkey flowers, mountain dandelions (some of which have already gone to seed), and several different little yellow and white flowers that I can't identify.  Wild strawberries are also in bloom along both sides of the road from Great Fountain to Pink Cone.

 

For once I came back to the Upper Basin early enough to hopefully get this out with the other posts about today's activity.
