[Geysers] Geyser report Tuesday, September 4, 2012

[Barbara Lasseter]

Frosty morning with breeze bringing in significant smoke by mid
morning--otherwise clear.  The mid-day Grand, however, had blue skies
behind the eruption.  We have all become Grand gluttons, with frequent
short intervals, and eruptions just as spectacular as if we had waited
4+hrs.  Those of us who don't pull the late night stuff still get
broad smiles on our faces just hearing of others catching 5 eruptions
in a single day or 24hr period.

site!
