<div>I am sorry for the delays in these reports. I have been feeling under the weather the last couple days but much better now. I have spent a lot of time in my room to recover, but of course, the internet that I use has been down for the last couple days as well. I cannot guarantee a geyser report tomorrow (8/15) because President Obama will be visiting the area. Nobody is sure what will be closed, when it will be closed, or for how long it will be closed, and therefore, few geyser gazers will be in the area from my understanding. The parking lot to the Lower General Store and the front parking lot to the Old Faithful Inn are both closed, and have been since Thursday evening. It is a very eery sight to see them so empty. I will try to see what I can see tomorrow since I work the late shift, and thus, should be able to find something to entertain me for the first half of the day.</div>

<div>Grotto was well into marathon at 1432</div>
<div>Spa erupted from a low pool at 1554. I saw two sets of large bursts about 10 minutes apart that were too big to fit in the camera frame from sitting at the bench. There was another set of bursts about 15 minutes later that I saw from Wave Spring that were about the same. I would estimate the height at 40 feet or so - very impressive. From Wave Spring, Spa is directly above Bijou. It honestly looked like a mini-Grand at the middle of Grand's first burst. It was very cool.</div>

<div>Great Fountain 1243 - a very nice eruption with a few bursts near 150 feet (thanks Lynn)</div>
<div>Little Squirt seen this morning at 0735, I am not sure how long the duration was, I have seen it active for a few seconds many days, but nothing more than the short duration activity</div>
<div>I wouldn't be surprised if it was on for awhile though because this afternoon Bronze and Silver Spring were both having some small, but nice eruptions to 2-3 feet.</div>

<div>I walked up on a Penta start at 1911. I seriously sat down for 30 seconds before the front two vents began, and then the main vent.</div>
<div>I didn't stay for more than a minute of that eruption to get to the end of Artemisia's 1911ie eruption</div>
<div>Oblong was 1958ie</div>

<div>I will do what I can and see what I can in my limited time tomorrow.</div>
