The trails are still closed (but the loop around OF is now open). I heard three things today: 1) the trails will be closed for 24 hours; 2) they'll check the area after 48 hours or so; 3) somebody probably will go out to look this afternoon.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anyhow, after spending a couple of hours in the UGB, I went over to West Thumb, then back for another hour or so, then home via a recently-erupted Fountain. Again, a number of the following times are from Graham Meech.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Plume 0644, 0757 (73), and 0902 (65).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Beehive's Indicator 1225, Beehive 1237. (Yesterday, by the way, Beehive was 1436.)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Lion 0644ie, 0749, and 0851; it was still having roars but could'nt generate an eruption around 1230.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Castle 0645ie minor.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Every time I looked down basin, Bijou was on. Grotto was not on between 0800 and 1000, it was on between 1200 and 1300.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Oblong 1254ns.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Daisy 0921ie.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Nothing much to report at West Thumb. The lake is still frozen over and extremely low -- Fishing Cone is connected to the shore by a dry isthmus. Lakeshore Geyser is having boiling "eruptions" that sometimes reach up to 2 feet high. King Geyser might have been doing something, as it was putting up the biggest steam cloud in the area, but I couldn't tell for the steam. Lone Pine was overflowing but not bubbling (Barry Leedy apparently saw it ie yesterday afternoon. From the pullout around the lakeshore north of Potts I could see brief splashing in the Empty Hole Group, one of which I think must have been Resurgent. I also saw some small splashing from a feature in the southern part of the Beach Group.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Overheard at FPP, at the closest approach to the mud pots themselves, by a tour guide (there were three tour vans in the parking lot; I don't know which this guy belonged to): "There's no point in going farther. There is one small geyser out there but it almost never erupts." Wotta guy.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Overheard a week or so ago, at Plume. "Where's Old Faithful?" "That's it over there," said I. Blank look. "Oh. Why did they put this walk over here?"</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Ah, well.</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>
