[Geysers] geyser repor Wed 5-19-10

[Barbara Lasseter]

40 degrees on the way in from WYS at 0530, 48 degrees on the way out
from OF at 1530 or so.  It felt cooler with wind and NO sun all day
til my return on the West entrance road.

2 event cycles of note at Fan & Mortar.  (Thank you Bob Lieb!)  The
first was at about 0900--others may have better details.  It petered
out shortly after 0930 when water levels just faded out.  The second
was just after 1230 as I recall.  The fast walk from Beehive both
times has to benefit my fitness regime.  Beehive did erupt before my
return the second time, but I confess to stopping at both Riverside
and Grand en route.

Plume: 0703ie, 0812, ...1129, 1235, 1449, 1543ie

Little cub ie at 0700, 0744, 0829, 1114, 1156, 1237

Lion was splashing all morning

Depression: 0642ie, 1226, 1434ie

Castle had 2 - 4minute minors--at 0839 and 1243

Grand: Jim Scheirer found Grand empty at 0530 with Turban and Vent
ie--Electronic times were 5/18 1848e and 5/19 0510e.  One burst
eruption at 1515.

Riverside: 0748, 1421

Daisy: 0742, 1003, 1218ie with a "reliable" grizzly sighting reported
0830-0900 or so.

Grotto: 0537ie and still in marathon at 1530.  The Giant platform was
shut down by  0900.  Variable pool was full at that time, and down
maybe an inch at 1400.

Penta had a steam phase eruption at 0550ie and another at 1405ie

Fountain was ie at 0553.  From the road, I watched at least 28 minutes
of eruption before it was clear it had stopped 2 minutes later.
Pretty steamy, and hard to be sure of the intervening 2 minutes.
