Variable Spring had barely recovered, Marathon Pool was way down and bubbling, Bijou was totally dead. 0500 would have been a 19 1/2 hour marathon.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Water began occasionally appearing in Mastiff -- both front and back -- at about 0900, and every time that quit there was a bit of jetting in Catfish. So I guesstimated, and hoped, for a recovery hot period at around 1400.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>It happened at 1245ie, as seen by Karen Low. Sounded like it lasted only around 5 minutes and apparently had Mastiff only briefly to 2 or 3 feet.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>With rather strong wind, Daisy was 0938ie and 1225.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Only saw one Oblong, at 1036.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Grand was 0530E, then nicely short at 1209 (G2C). (Yesterday afternoon's eruption turned out to be 1412, 1 burst. I never heard a time between the 1612 and 0530.)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Plume wasa 1201 and 1253. There was a Lion at 1202, not initial. I never went to Geyser Hill today, but from afar, Beehive appeared unchanged.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Stopped at Fountain on the way out, and though the formation was dry, Jet only give me one 14 minute interval. So I left there a bit before 1500.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV></FONT><BR><BR><BR><DIV><FONT style="color: black; font: normal 10pt ARIAL, SAN-SERIF;"><HR style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px">See what's free at <A title="http://www.aol.com?ncid=AOLAOF00020000000503" href="http://www.aol.com?ncid=AOLAOF00020000000503" target="_blank">AOL.com</A>. </FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
