Well, welcome to April 29, 2007. Nice day, though; cloudless until about noon, temp up to 70 here in West. (Supposed to be rain/snow showers, highs in the 40s this coming weekend!)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My fourth bear sighting of 2007, this on on Fountain Flat as I drove in, about one minute after a moose crossed the road in front of me.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>0728 ie was Grotto, and this proved to be a marathon. It is probably the same eruption that Rebecca and Andrew saw start last night at "about 1830" from Grand -- Variable Spring was way down and furiously boiling muddied water, Bijou etc. were totally dead, and so on. This would be consecutive marathons. Grotto was still ie at a little after noon, so the duration was approaching 18 hours and counting.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Riverside was 0737ns.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Daisy 0045E, 0306E, 0531E, and 1753. I expected to get the next eruption, but it apparently happened just after 1000 when I couldn't see it for the trees.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Grand 0124E and 0849 (-2Q).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> <DIV>Depression 0827ie.</DIV></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Lion was splashing at 0830. Lion was splashing at 1200. Never did see Aurum.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Beehive orange.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Plumes at 1043 and 1137.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>In answer to a query, in 10 days in the basin, I have yet to see Little Squirt.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Well anyhow, being somewhat bored with the action-less UGB, I departed to give Fountain a try. And I found its runoffs quite damp.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Enroute to Fountain I again stopped to watch West Flood, and the eruptions of a week ago might have been a passing thing. Since then, though it is still haveing the heaving flooding overflows, I've seen it only boil a little at times and no visible boiling at others. The last time I saw a burst was a week ago.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Well... All for today.</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>
