Greetings and Salutations, Just a few things from the memorial day weekend.  I did watch Flood twice, once for about 50 minutes and later for about 30.  The first time I arrived Flood was quiet, barely boiling now and then.  As I watched it gradually became more active and at about 25 minutes it finally started giving occasional bursts starting as single bursts but later progressing to some double and even triple bursts.  Towards the end I was seeing single to triple bursts every 30-120 seconds.  Unfortunately I had to leave.  It may have progressed to a traditional Flood eruption, I can't say.  The second time I visited it again showed the occasional bursts in singles to four bursts every 30-120 seconds.  As a side note, West Flood was acting as an intermittent spring more often in overflow than not, but not erupting.  I agree with Pat Snyder, in Black Sand Sunlight geyser was active either as a perpetual spouter or as a very short interval geyser (2-5 second intervals).  There is a new feature (or reactivated feature) about 30 feet behind Sunlight (if you are on the roadway by Spouter) that appears to be a perpetual spouter to about 1-2 feet high.  There is a new hole in the Sawmill group, it is south of Old Tardy and is acting as a drain for Old Tardy. sometimes  I have some pictures, I will try to reduce one in size and send it later.  It is about 6 inches by one foot, about mid-way between Old Tardy and the boardwalk to the south (in the direction of Churn).  Some days it appeared to do nothing, other days it steamed lightly.  I cannot tell if it is a blow out hole or if  it is an animal break through.  Because it steams and can accept runoff without filling up I suspect a blow out hole.  Scott has been giving the times, but I must say, Daisy is now rock steady at a two hour interval, almost plus or minus five minutes.  You can predict the morning eruption from one the afternoon of the day before and usually not be off by more than 15 minutes.  OK, maybe I exaggerate some, but not that much.  Wind, storms, whatever, Daisy is still every two hours.  I did visit Biscuit Basin but did not catch Avoca spring like Pat Snyder did.  I did notice Jewel's eruptions appear to be different;  Instead of two or three distinct bursts, it was more like a surging with that two or three times showed short periods of doubled or tripled height.  I was going to watch it longer, but someone called water in Beehive indicator and I left and did not manage to return for more observations.  O, and it appears I was wrong about seeing Teapot, I was seeing Split Cone (I think that is what Scott called it).  Sorry about that.  At Mammoth hot springs the new spring above Canary spring continues to be active and growing.  Does this feature have a name yet?  Or is it a reactivated feature with an old name?  Anyway, it continues to grow but so far the run off is still soaking into the ground before it get too far.  The crack on the side of Orange spring still has most of the water, as it continues to grow I can see where it might start to eat the road in a year or two.  It appears the Travertine by the road has already been chopped off a couple of times, perhaps by snow plows over the winter.  The feature at the top of the upper loop I think is White Elephant Back Terrace (please correct me if I am wrong) has water at several different points which is more water than I remember in the last decade.  Still not a lot of water, but more than I remember.  Stopped at West Thumb and saw very little.  Lakeshore was underwater just barely, it would give occasional surges but no eruptions.  And that was about it for West Thumb.  (well, I did see a black bear at the Potts overlook) Stephen Eide ---- Msg sent via CableONE.net MyMail - http://www.cableone.net
