[Geysers] Upper Geyser Basin, Friday, 12/24/2010

[Karen Low]

I went out in the Geyser Basin after lunch.  I was skiing through the Inn 
parking lot when I noticed Plume ie 1255.  A little farther down the trail, I 
turned around to watch Old Faithful erupt, and noticed that Beehive Indicator 
was erupting (1301 ie).  I had time to get to the overlook across the river, and 
Beehive erupted at 1314 with some nice rainbow colors in the spray.

Riverside was predicted for 140 pm, so I headed there next hoping to catch it. 
 It erupted at 1427.

Grotto was off.  Bijou was on.  Grand was a mostly empty crater.  Sawmill and 
everything in its group was off when I went by.  When I got to Castle, there 
were bison right on the bike path, so I waited a while to see if they'd wander 
on, and watched Geyser Hill.  Aurum erupted at 1507.  The bison did not seem 
inclined to move quickly, so I headed up to the Geyser Hill.  The ramp by 
Beehive is very treacherous.

If you saw someone with antlers posing for the webcam, that was me.
