<div dir="ltr">Geyser Report Monday, September 7, 2015 Labor Day<br><div><br></div><div>Beehive 0236 (Beehive's Indicator 0228)--both per GT</div><div>Grand: 0711</div><div>Fountain: 0614ie (over by 0620)</div><div>Great Fountain: over by 0620</div><div>Flood: 1201ie</div><div>Occasional: 0825, 0848, 0918, ___, 1025, 1059</div><div><br></div><div>I watched Lone Pine from 0820 until after 1130. It was overflowing 360 degrees and bubbling --the platform was thoroughly wet. A nice bull elk walked past, taking an hour in his slow passage and attracting a lot of drive by attention (hence the presumed missing Occasional eruption time)</div><div><br></div><div>Forecast low for West was 27 degrees (where DO they have that thermometer?!) At 0545 my car said 20 degrees--24 as I arrived at Old Faithful--but clear skies meant lots of sunshine and 54 degrees by noon. A beautiful day, weather-wise, but we dress a bit differently for a Labor Day picnic here than in most of the country--20 degrees--Br-r-r. My tires lost 10lb of air pressure!</div><div><br></div><div>The lower store is now opening at 0900. At 1000 daily they offer a tour of the "Million Dollar Room"--Hamilton's upstairs office, papered with his checks--in those days banks actually returned your written check after it cleared--including the 2 insufficient fund checks he used to buy the store and it's inventory. </div><div><br></div><div>Snow poles are starting to appear on roadsides. Isa Lake had traffic delay warnings when I last passed about 3 weeks ago, although the roadsides had been mulched and all looked "ready" to me. Today it was open completely.</div><div><br></div><div>Barbara Lasseter</div></div>
