Unlike yesterday, the big geysers did not cooperate very well today -- Grand and Beehive, Lion ie on arrival, Oblong a big steam cloud on arrival, and etc. The only good thing -- Artemisia's eruption started when I was roughly 3 1/2 paces away from the edge of the trail. That at 09:29 reinforces the thoughts of 12 hour intervals.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anyhow, Grotto was in marathon all morning, and obviously had been in eruption for a very long time as of 07:00. It was still going at 13:00.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So I pulled some more closed interval numbers from the VC logbook for May 1 to today.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>For Castle, I found difficulties in ferretting out the eruption types, but this is what I came up with. Normal intervals (14) average 13h 10m; Minor intervals (4) 7h 01m; post minor intervals (4) 14h 48m. This does not include today's minor.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>As I suspected, Oblong has _really_ lengthened its intervals in the last few days. Between May 1 and May 11, its average was 3h 46m (range 3h 19m to 4h 00m). But starting with May 12, the closed intervals, in order, have been 3h 54m, 4h 26m, 4h 36m, 5h 06m and 5h 13m; average 4h 39m. (Sorry, Julie.)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>By the way, there have been no electronic download times for Castle and Grand since last week, due to the VC move, and today nearly all staff was involved in the move -- no rove except for the early geyser prediction duty.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
