[Geysers] Correction to May 22 Report (Lynn Stephens)

[Lynn Stephens]

I wrote "Twig waited until a minute after Fountain stopped before it stopped."  That sentence should have read "Twig waited until a minute after Fountain stopped before Twig started."
 Fountain Complex:  With Atomizer's cooperation by erupting at 0715, I was able to go to the Fountain Complex for the morning eruption of Fountain.  As Maureen reported on geysertimes.org, Morning's Thief was active prior to Fountain's eruption, so we knew Fountain had not erupted overnight.  Fountain started at 0854, an interval of 12h42m, which was about as expected based on last night's duration of 42 minutes.  But then Fountain stopped at 0924 for a duration of 30 minutes.  Twig waited until a minute after Fountain stopped before it stopped.  I waited until 1000 and noted that Clepsydra had not paused.  I had planned to go to Till this afternoon, but instead decided I wanted to make certain we didn't miss an eruption of Fountain at a 6 hour, or under, interval.  I arrived in sight of Fountain at 13:55.  Due to the wind, rain, and hail, I decided to watch from the pick-up at the pull-out down on Fountain Flats.  Maureen arrived about 15:00 or so.  Morning's Thief had an independent eruption at 1722, and Fountain started its eruption at 1728, for an interval of 8h34minutes.  Fountain's duration was 32 minutes.  Twig started its eruption at 1804.  I bet you can guess where Maureen and I will be tomorrow morning.
