Beehive data I went back over the data during the run of false indicators and
compared the data with the webcam observations and Stephen Eide's report
(below). The Beehive at 2103 on 7 August that showed on my last update is
indeed in error--my analysis program picked out the Indicator (which put hotter
water down the channel than usual) and I failed to catch the false eruption
detection. The other eruptions that I reported are either confirmed by
webcam or observer reports or are, in my opinion, clearly Beehive eruptions and
not false indicators, including the two Beehive eruptions that bracket the very
short 7h36m interval on 10 August.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P>Greetings and Salutations,</P>
<P>Sorry about getting this out late, my trip report for 7-30-10 to
8-9-10 will dribble in over the next few days. First Beehive.
On 8-6-10 after a normal Beehive eruption in the morning at 0726 Beehive
Indicator started at 1700 and quit 65 minutes later with no BH.
Beehive did do some surging from about the 25 minute mark to the 38 minute
mark, but did not go. No one waited on it overnight but Ralph
Taylor's data shows it erupted at 2323. We did not know that at the time
and I think there may be some question about the electronic times (continue
on). The next morning 8-7 at 0808 the indicator started with a
duration of 59 minutes and no Beehive. The next indicator seen was at 1301
with Beehive at 1334. Later on 8-7 the indicator was seen at 2054 ie
and it stopped at 2142 with no Beehive. Ralph's data shows a Beehive at 2103 on
8-7 but I was watching the hill at that time, it did NOT erupt. I
wonder if some of the electronic times are just hot water from Beehive
indicator. on 8-8 the indicator was seen ie at 0603 and it stopped at
0645. The next observed indicator was 1000 ie with Beehive at 1022,
At about 1510 (sorry, I didn't write down the time) the Indicator erupted to
about a foot for less than a minute. I saw the Indicator at 1647 ie (8-8)
to about three feet and it turned off at 1649. A bit later at 1716 I
noticed the Indicator was IE at full height, it stopped at 1805.
On 8-9 the Indicator started at 0615 with D=55. Then later on 8-9
the Indicator started at 1003 with Beehive at 1032. </P>
<P>Based on this limited data, it appears that after a Beehive eruption it takes
about five or more hours for the Indicator to start doing what looks
like a mid-cycle eruptions. These contine at an interval I am unsure of
but may be less than an hour until a full eruption of the Indicator
occurs. Beehive will usually start surging at about the 20-25 minute mark
and continue until the 35-38 minute mark with some weak surging after
that. These surges may cause Beehive to start, they may not. These
surges are often 6-20 feet tall by the way, not weak surges.
The eruptions I saw occured after three or four closely spaced surges.
Once you get to the 38 minute mark Beehive starts getting weaker. At the
end the Indicator drops into the hole and then comes back up a few times before
finally quiting for good. Intervals between the Indicators (with no
Beehive) appear to be in the 4-5 hour range with durations of about 60
minutes. Heights are 12 feet and even higher. It does look just like
a normal indicator, maybe a touch stronger. </P>
<P>It'll be interesting to see what happens next. More trip report to
follow.</P>
