Bear management or somebody was supposed to be going out there to "re-evaluate" this afternoon. Quite nice today (eventually up to about 40, little wind, few clouds), perhaps a bit of wet the next couple of days, but then some forecasts ("I'll believe it when...") say temperatures even into the 70s by the end of next week.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Giantess was done today -- a steaming, empty hole. The same can be said of Vault. Infant was very high and boiling vigorously.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Plume intervals of 52, 51, 51, (lunch), and (!) 44 minutes.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Beehive was interesting, to say the least. The Indicator started at 1050:50. Beehive started at 1051:04. It literally started with two sudden huge bursts, then a massive explosion that made a loud "pop" as it threw water to all sides. Then up, and if Beehive ever really hit 200 feet, it might have been today. I'd just almost bet that the 20h 43m since yesterday afternoon is a double interval, too -- we discussed this and the fact the the snow on the boardwalk (about 3 inches overnight) was undisturbed, but then it was undisturbed after today's eruption, too.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Lion 0849 minor and 0912 (full eruption and end of the series).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Aurum 0904 and 1259.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Castle was 0815vr, and in major steam phase at 0825.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Snake Eyes and the vent next to them remain active.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Grand's monitor was not downloaded today, but it erupted at 1110 (-1Q).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Grotto Fountain was 1126ns, Grotto at 1131. I think I saw a Giant hot period  (viewed from near Sawmill) at 0913. Tom and I are quite certain that a hot period was underway at 1122 with Bijou coming on at about the same time that Grotto Fountain started. Nothing more is known. Evidently the platform has not been looked at by any bear patrol since Thursday morning. Man, I'm gettin' really tired of the parking lots.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>That would seem to be about it, except that Fountain was 1356ie on the drive out.</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">Wondering what's for Dinner Tonight? <A title="http://food.aol.com/dinner-tonight?NCID=aolfod00030000000001" href="http://food.aol.com/dinner-tonight?NCID=aolfod00030000000001" target="_blank">Get new twists on family favorites at AOL Food</A>.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
