<DIV></DIV>Just a note on Biscuit Basin - Last week when we were there, my
husband, George, was able to walk the loop in Biscuit Basin by entering from the
back side. He used the trail that is across the road from the Daisy
pull-out (Mystic Falls?). He just couldn't go on the portion that goes
past Black Diamond to the parking lot. Perhaps it is still
open.<BR><BR> Polly Panos<BR><BR><BR>

<BR><BR><BR> As of 2115, just shy of five days into the interval,
Fan and Mortar have still not erupted. They were under observation from
roughly 0500 to 2115, during which the only event cycle was an anemic,
ten-minute pause at 2015. It's worth noting that Frying Pan has been
more active than I've seen it in a long time. In the last couple of
days, it has come on between 25 and 30 minutes after River Vent during most
hot periods that lasted long enough.<BR><BR> Grotto started at
1012, and Spa was noted to be active this evening at 1935. It was still
erupting around 2115, with some vertical spikes nearly as high as the first
tree toward Grotto from the pool. Grotto was still ie at
2115.<BR><BR> It's probably already been reported, but just in
case--Biscuit Basin is closed for boardwalk and parking lot maintenance,
likely for most or all of the season.<BR><BR>Bears:<BR><BR> Around
1110, a Xanterra tour guide approached me and Scott Grisso and asked us to
report to the Visitor Center via FRS that she and her tour group had just seen
a grizzly from the boardwalk at Morning Glory Pool. She then pointed
downstream and tried to point it out to us crossing the river to our
side. We didn't see it, but visitors coming back from Morning Glory
confirmed that they'd watched it cross. We have no idea where it went
from there.<BR><BR> Also, a slight clarification of the report of
a gazer's equipment being mauled at Artemesia: The equipment in question
was a brand new camp chair, and the reason it had been left overnight near
Artemesia the was the sudden and unexpected appearance of the bear. The
pieces that were chewed and spit out by the bear reportedly smell "very
bad." So apparently, if you're thinking about manufacturing a cologne
out of bear slaver, you might want to look into a new business
plan.<BR><BR>David
