Dad gave a ride one time to some Germans who did not understand that the miles were not km. They were wanting to walk to Old Faithful in like 4 hours from the entrance. Biking up there is kinda like Ironman's for runners. Brave souls. Grand has been doing some really weird things of late, hasn't it. I had heard that term from Sam, I think when he, Jeannine (my aunt), and I went hiking out there one time. It was after Rick had passed so I know it was not him who had told me. <div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jul 13, 2012 at 5:45 PM, Barbara Lasseter <<a href="mailto:barbara.lasseter@gmail.com" target="_blank">barbara.lasseter@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> It was overcast last night and much warmer this AM--in the low 50's, where we have been seeing high 30's and low to mid 40's--increasing rapidly of course once the sun comes up. Several days recently I have encountered dozens of bicylists on my way into or out of the park. I wonder if the folks signing on for a high adventure bicycling trip thru Yellowstone understood the cycling conditions here--and how many demand a refund.

Turban had a 22* minute cycle (19 min, 22* min, 20min, 18 min)--not a turban delay. I could not see if vent overflowed from my vantage point. Grand never reached overflow after 20 min. on the subsequent turban cycle, then erupted 18 min later on the 2nd turban after the event. Many of you veteran gazers may have known this terminology, but it was new to me, so for the sake of others who may also have been unaware...
