Geyser Report Tuesday, August 18, 2015

Freezing out there for the third morning ina row!  This one stayed cooler,
longer--to the 60's.  The geysers didn't coperate with my morning schedule.


Beehive: 0042 ns GT
Grand: 0526ns GT
Castle: 0115 ie major GT
Fountain: 0918ie
Great Fountain was doing a boiling refill when I drove by about 0620.
Daisy 0551ie wc GT
"Rejuvenated": 0624ie
Spouter: 0641ie

I did see an initial Lion at 0840 and a couple of Old Faithful eruptions
 (0705 and 0836)--lovely in the weak early morning sun.   That sun was well
filtered by smoke as the morning progressed.

I opted to try for Fountain, but waited too long to make that decision--it
was ie as I approached.  Pink cone's platform and the road were wet when I
passed about 0625.  The cone was gently steaming.

Fountain and Black Sand Basin lots were open this AM.  I drove thru both.
Fountain did have turn arrows painted on the pavement, but the handicap
insignia by the toilet still is missing.  It was hard to see what work
caused a closure for 8+ hrs yesterday.  Today, Midway and Biscuit lots were
closed. A crew was working at Midway at 0630, and it was reopened before
0930.  Biscuit had a ranger keeping an eye on the traffic.  Yesterday's
heavy foot traffic crossing from the loop road to the boardwalk N of Silex
left a definite pathway that may prove a temptation to future overflow
traffic parking along that stretch of loop road.
