[Geysers] Geyser info May 8 to 14

[jimscheir at aol.com]

I get online only every week or two so I will not be sending daily reports. Here are a few observations from the basin since I arrived May 8:

I have seen 8 Grands. 3 were 2-bursts and 5 were 1-bursts. 4 were grand starts, 3 turban starts and 1 undetermined.

Fan and Mortar erupted sometime from May 10 late afternoon to very early May 11 when I found the marker washed. The water had completely dried before I got there.

The May 10 beehive was not a no indicator eruption, as suggested on the webcam. I called water at 0748, indicator at 0749 and then beehive started at 0750.

Penta is active. It was called May 8 at 1736, May 13 at 1352 ie and May 14 at 0645 ie. Churn erupted May 14 at 0730.

We had one Grotto marathon that I know of with length probably about 20 hours. It shut down the giant platform for hours, but had no other effect.

Today we had a 4 hour interval on oblong.

Castle is mixing majors with frequent minors. Today we had a 3 minute minor at 0811 followed by a 6 minute minor at 1205.
