Lots seen but nothing really special.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Plume produced intervals of 59, 56 and 68 minutes.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Yesterday, Beehive was at 1208. Today it went at 1041 (I = 22h 33m). There was no Indictor;  eruption started seconds (maybe 20 or so seconds) after the "Water in the Indicator" call.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Grand caught everybody flat-footed, by going at 0724 (2 bursts). I saw it from the bike trail; apparently no gazer was near it.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Grotto was in marathon yesterday. What was probably the recovery hot period took place at 02xx and evidently lasted nearly 10 minutes. There was some sort of hot period at about 0600, then more at 0711 (d = 4m 10s), 0822 (d ~ 5 1/2 m), 0943 (d = 2m 28s), and 1130 (d = 7m 40s, quite strong although India was only about 80% covered).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>While I was in there was just one Daisy interval: only 2h 07m.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Oblong was 0819 ie. Then I _think_ I heard it called when I was down at Biscuit Basin, at about 1300.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Word is that yesterday at 0345, Black Diamond Pool at Biscuit had eruption strong enough to throw the sensor out of the pool, and then it was seen during the naturalist's nature walk at around 0900. We don't know if it's gone since then, but that gives it at least 3 eruptions.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The informal name "Salt 'n' Pepper" seems to be in increasing use for the thing near the river at Biscuit.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>On to Great Fountain, which though predicted for 1530 was well into overflow at 1327. The eruption was at 1431, p = 0, and very nice with one 1st-burst burst to at least 150 feet.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>while there I saw White Dome at 1352 and then 1432.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>There is a forest fire burning, probably started by the nearly-dry lightning storm we had near dark last evening. The smoke billow as viewed from here in West makes it appear to be only a few miles into the park and, I think, north of Madison Canyon.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>All for now.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
