I started the day in the lower basin at 05:00 and ended it at 23:20, so this report will be short.<BR>
<BR>
Fountain went back to 30 minute durations, 6 hour intervals today. 05:15ns end 05:45, missed the next eruption, then 17:53 d=30 per Maureen.<BR>
<BR>
Great Fountain, on the other hand, went long. I missed the start of overflow because I went over to watch Fountain this morning. Great Fountain erupted at 06:53, p = 7. Electronic time was 0703, I think (I forgot to write it down when Maureen told me). OFVEC is using 11 hours +/- 2 for the prediction. The morning ranger erased the 6/1/2011 prediction, but left the board blank. The afternoon ranger also left the board blank, which was probably a good thing. I knew this morning's eruption had been a long, strong eruption. Sure enough, it went out over 16 hours, finally erupting at 23:07, p = 5. (I missed the start of overflow this evening also because I wanted to be at Pink Cone for the start. Overflow > 97 minutes.) Mean for all intervals since the road opened = 13h23m; median for the 8 closed intervals I have = 12h46m.<BR>
<BR>
Pink Cone--I was on my way back to West this evening when I passed Pink Cone at 19:00 and realized the road bubbler was active. So I waited, and waited, and waited. Pink Cone erupted at 21:37. The first four days the road was open, Pink Cone erupted between about 06:00 and 07:00. Then I kept recording, "finished by" for the next three mornings (6/1, 6/2, and 6/3). This evening's eruption gave an average interval of about 17 1/4 hours over the four intervals.<BR>
<BR>
Off and on snow squalls this morning. Wind this morning and afternoon. Weather turned nice this afternoon, and even better this evening when the wind finally stopped.<BR>
<BR>
I saw a grizzly sow with a cub at the entrance to Firehole Lake Drive this morning.<BR>
