First another correction:  Friday July 12 Grand at 1255 was V8G2Q--I
left off the V8.  How could I have forgotten that!

Today I started with a loop thru Firehole Lake Drive, then to OF for
the 0700 geyser call, back toward Biscuit to watch Artemisia (which
erupted before I reached the cloverleaf), so on to LGB hoping for
Fountain, followed by another loop thru Firehole Lake Dr, then back to
UGB for Grand.  From there to Great Fountain, then stopping for Pink
Cone before heading home-- Much more dashing about than usual for me.

Morning's Thief had exceptionally large bursts--tall, wide, and
relatively long duration for pre and early-Fountain activity, more
than a second or two, but not more than a minute apiece.  Opinions
varied--call it 45 to 50ft at one point.  It was easy to see how that
activity could be ID'd as Morning!  I documented one at 0813 with a
brief pause then resuming at 0814, another at 0825.  I was hoping to
capture the good stuff on film and do not have the other times.  It
was very nice stuff.
