So I didn't stay at Old Faithful for very long. So this is simply to report that Grotto was in marathon at 0715, and that eruption is suspected (though not positively known) to have been the same eruption that began at 1346 yesterday. That eruption continued as of about 11:45. And therefore, Giant etc. were dead.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The spouting thing downstream from Black Opal Pool at Biscuit Basin appears to have quit erupting. Today, both inbound and outbound, I saw no splashing at all, and runoff was barely a trickle.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>That's all my geyser stuff for today -- I have lots of other observations but no intervals, and nothing unusual.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Today the VC naturalists completely missed the 0854 eruption of Old Faithful. Admittedly, they were in the midst of the opening procedure at that time, but it shows what the view is. This is, I understand, the second OF that's been missed. So to repeat what I said a couple of days ago -- please report your times. Include Old Faithful!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
