[Geysers] Geyser Report Sunday, July 15, 2012

[Paul Strasser]

A question about access at Norris.  With Incline and Graceful (I thought
Graceful's vent blew apart in the 80s) active we may make a trip to that
blessed basin while in the park.  I know they re-routed the boardwalks in
the back basin, but what about porcelain??  You used to go down the steps
through the museum, and I would have a hard time with those.  Can you get to
the Porcelain Terrace overlook without going on stairs?

I found myself unexpectedly at Norris today.  What was to be a hike

never left Norris Geyser Basin, where there was lots of intersting

activity.  The UGB data reported here is compliments of Kitt Barger.

Norris data collected by MA Bellingham, Rocco Paperiello, Clark

Murray, and myself.

 

Beehive: 0651 (indicator @ 0636)

Grand: 0727 T2Q

West Triplet: 0749ie

Plume: 0713

Oblong: 0720ns

Riverside: 1029

Fountain: 1036ie

 

Whirligig: 1024  d=approx 3 minutes  great sound effects!

Constant: I saw several, but did not intend to linger there and was

not recording times

Incline Geyser ie: (this is what grabbed our attention big time at

about 0800)  Rocco dashed over to verify, then we both relocated from

Constant to Incline, hoping for a repeat.

Graceful: 1st approx 0800-0820, 2nd 1115

Collapsed Cave geyser: approx 40foot angled eruption during the 2nd Graceful

Vixen: minors at 1109 (40 sec, 6-8ft), 1158 (40sec, 8ft), 1249 (75sec,

13-14ft), 1341 (35sec, 8-10ft)

 

There was a black wolf feeding on an elk carcass at the base of the

Chocolate pots on my way home.   For 2 days in a row now I have seen a

bald eagle in the dead tree on the S side of the W entrance rd approx

1 mile W of the old nest across from a convenient pullout.

 

Tomorrow I will be out of the basin.
