There was a Giant hot period at 0631ie per Lynn, then a fairly decent hot period at 0744 (Mastiff briefly to about 4 feet, d ~ 8m 15s.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>When first on the way out into the basin, I caught the end of Uncertain (0659ie) just 3 minutes before Sawmill started from a low pool. There had been a deep drain, and all other members of the group were still very low.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Then I saw Slurp ie at 0705 -- that's the 3rd time I've seen it this year.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Lynn had called Rift as ie at 0621. It was off before 0700 and Grand erupted on the first Turban after Rift quit, at 0716. Another good ol' T1Q, d = 11m 07s.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Daisy at 0758 and 1011, so it is maintaining the somewhat-shorter intervals (2h 13m).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Lion at 1003 initial and 1129.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Plume had consecutive intervals of 63, 61, 59 and 58 minutes.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I don't know when Beehive erupted yesterday. Today it was at 1042 after an Indicator of 14 minutes.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The new thing at Biscuit Basin was splashing vigorously from both the clear water and muddy water vents, both reaching 2 to 4 feet high. I also saw the small squirting geyser that is roughly halfway between the new thing and Black Opal Pool. This was at 0640. At roughly 1145 I saw only the clear water vent.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I caught Labial again, first time in about a week, at 1219, and within the next 10 minutes also saw Bead, Narcissus (short duration), and Box Spring.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Van tour yesterday, apparently another tomorrow, and an in-town commitment for Saturday.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
