     28 June was a beautiful, warm day for watching geysers.  Mike Lang had
looked at Fan & Mortar this morning, but the cycle was not of interest.
Bill Warnock went down  to F&M while some of us headed to Grand and at 1122
there was a River pause and Main Vent was splashing.  With Rift ie, the
gazers headed to see what was going on at F&M while I watched Turbans, but
F&M did not erupt.

     The new hole in front of Bulger is enlarging and has a hole at the top
edge now too.  Scott Grisso saw it erupt about 2'  and someone else saw 3-4
feet just before Scott.  After Grand it appeared to be filling but dropped.
It rose a bit and drained again.  Bulger had some majors  while we were at
Grand.

     This afternoon about 1430 someone had a call that there was a bad bison
jam at 7 mile bridge.  I left the UGB at 1500 and saw a very large herd of
bison just before Madison Jct. to the north of the road in the meadow.  At 7
mile bridge the small group of cows and calves were resting in the grass at
the parking for the overlook off the road.  I hope the large herd does not
try to go to Fountain Flat on the road.
