Jet and Spasm were seen active at about 0610. I arrived there at 0655, having seen Morning's Thief active while driving across Fountain Flat. On site, I found it active with some bursts easily 10 feet high, but Spasm was barely bubbling at a low below-overflow level, and Jelly was below overflow. Fountain and Morning were joined as one large pool. Jet did not erupt during the next 24 minutes. At 0719, Fountain erupted. About 2 minutes in, Clepsydra stopped and Spasm began to drain lower. Jet did not erupt again during the eruption of Fountain, nor did Super Frying Pan, nor did Twig. Morning's Thief quit sometime around Fountain's 15-minute mark. The Fountain itself seemed normal and had a duration of 30 minutes.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The next Fountain was at 1437, and interval of 7h 18m, duration 25 minutes. We're pretty certain there was no eruption in between 0719 and 1437, as there were gazers around on a frequent basis. During this eruption, most of the odd stuff of the morning was not seen -- Twig was active, Jet played several times, and Super Frying Pan also during Fountain -- except that again Clepsydra turned off way early in the eruption and Spasm also shut off and was substantially drained by the end of Fountain.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>While dealing with the LGB, Great Fountain was at 1343, no superburst. I had seen Labial at 0757 on a drive up, and it was called out at 1422, an interval of 6h 25m. Pink Cone was ie at 1413. Just before that, I saw a full eruption (both vents) of Gemini, 1413 ie.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Earlier (except for the first Fountain and first Labial) in the UGB, some of us missed both beehive (12 minute Indicator) and Grand (, interval 7h 27m,1 burst) due to a combination of waiting for Griant's post-marathon hot period and watching out for a rather large grizzly that walked up the river across from Giant to Grand, investigated Penta, crossed the river near Castle and disappeared to the southwest.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The hot period (at 1202) was outstanding, super heavy overflow from Mastiff which surged frequently to around 4 feet and etc. etc., but it ended at 10m 15s, no eruption.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Daisy had an interval of 2h 12m.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Castle had had a minor eruption at 2311 last night, then a major this morning at 0842, minor interval of 9h 31m -- this is becoming rather frequent.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Those who went up to Norris yesterday said there was basically nothing to see, except that Cistern was still down about 8 feet and there was a horrible bison jam both going and returning.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>And finally, enroute home today, I saw three wolves in Madison Meadow.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
