Notes and Observations on Geysers in Yellowstone and Elsewhere
Looks like in my attempts to reconfigure and improve the site, I removed the listing of current geyser activity from the left sidebar. I didn't intend to do that. The information is still available. Unfortunately, I won't be able to fix this until back home.
Grand could have waited just another five minutes. I'd just arrived and was passing Crested Pool when the eruption started. It was two burst, so I guess I can't complain too much, as that might the the last one I see for a while.
The evening's eruption took place just as the sun was disappearing. The start was completely lit, but by the time Vent started, only the tallest spikes were colored orange by the sunlight. And it was a one burst eruption.
For the drive itself, the most exciting thing was the family of raccoons in the middle of the Owl Canyon Road. In the dark I couldn't figure out what that grey writhing mass was until they all faced me and I got a reflection of their eyes. At least I didn't hit any of them.
