Geyser Report Saturday, May 28, 2016

The park is opening up!  Firehole Lake and Fountain Flat are open.  No
hiking signs in bear management areas Fountain Flat and south are mostly
gone.  Fishing is underway, probably not very successfully.  The no
stopping along the roadway is being ignored.  Heck, the no stopping ON the
road is being ignored.   A hoard of people were parked in and around the
pullout S of steel bridge this afternoon and were clearly visible hiking
the closed route behind Grand Prismatic.

On the plus side, in addition to the many visitors for the holiday weekend,
lots of gazers have arrived with lots of joyous meeting and greeting.

Most of my gazing time was spent waiting at Grand for it's over 9-1/2hr
interval.  Beehive also has been erratic.  As I read Geyser Times, the last
2 eruptions were "no inidcator", and intervals have been surprising
(frustrating?).

Beehive:  0112ns GT, 1805 GT (yesterday 0444 GT, 1415 GT)
Grand: 0234 GT, 1210, 1925 GT (all 1 burst); yesterday 0455 wc GT, 1151 G2C

I enjoyed listening to Tara Cross playing at the Inn for a while before
heading home.  Inbound traffic was a series of long backups anywhere bison
were near the road  Outbound had just 1 backup at Madison Jct,
