Fan and Mortar had two event cycles yesterday, 6/30. The first was as 41-minute Gold pause at 1047, and the second, 31-minute classic pause at 2025, right as a thunderstorm hit the basin. Both pauses included nearly continuous eruptions of Arch / Bottom Vent, with massive overflow. Regarding the bears, a gazer accidentally left a piece of equipment on the trail near Artemesia a couple of nights ago. Yesterday morning, he went out looking for it and found it chewed and thoroughly slobbered on. On the strength of that evidence, having not seen Carolyn's update yet, I strongly discouraged anyone from staying out at Fan and Mortar last night.
