I departed before Beehive went.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Castle had a minor at 0703 and had not erupted again as of 1245.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Grand was last evening at 2151E, then today not until 0902. Yes, that is 11h 11m. The eruption was a T2C with a duration of a bit less than 9 minutes.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Grotto Fountain was ie at 0758. Grotto's start time was not noted, but it turned off at 0928.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>At 0914, Giant was ie with a strong hot period. From near Economic, Mastiff was clearly visible, surging up to probably 3 feet. Upon arrival at the platform, I saw that "India" had been about 80% flooded.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Daisy had intervals of 2h22m and 2h 09m.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>As others have noted, Fan and Mortar are beginning to have cycles that are better organized than the pure garbage we've been seeing all summer. So there is some hope there.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The weather continues hot and dry with occasional wind. Which means that the geyser basins are VERY smoky -- indeed, around noon today at the lower store there was a bit of fire ash falling. Fun.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
