In the morning, the fog was thick. Could just barely see Rift erupting while approaching Sawmill. Arrived in the middle of a Turban Delay interval, but fortunately, we got the eruption instead of having to wait. It was a long, nearly 12 minute One Burst Grand, and Rift quit at some point during the eruption.
While we were at Grand, a raven attacked my bike. It took my goggles out of the front handlebar pouch and left them on the ground. It ripped several holes on the back seat and on one of the handlebars. I didn't find what it was looking for.
It was still foggy, so decided to make a quick trip over to Daisy. It was barely visible during the eruption, so had to concentrate on the sounds it made. It was also a short eruption, barely over 3 minutes.
Still foggy at 10:00 when went over to Geyser Hill to wait around for Beehive. Fog finally started breaking about a half hour later. The eruption itself was one of the taller ones, as there was no wind to speak of. The duration also seemed to be a bit longer than usual.
Around this time Sawmill was having a series of shorter eruptions separated by only ten minutes or so. We caught the last one headed out for the midday Grand eruption. The Sawmill Group was in a deep drain. While waiting, Sawmill had one more eruption, lasting about ten minutes. This Grand eruption also took place on a long Turban Delay interval, but only lasted nine minutes. Grand made no attempt to have a second burst.
With nothing much going on, we decided to spend some time at Great Fountain. Arrived before overflow. The overflow itself lasted 82 minutes, and Great Fountain didn't really pause. Between the start of surging until the first big burst was only 61 seconds, with constant activity. The eruption had a number of good bursts during both the first and third series.
Finally returned for the sunset Grand eruption. Sawmill was in eruption, and the Group water levels were pretty high, with Slurp in its noisy wet mode. There was a series of short Turban intervals, ranging from 16 to 18 minutes long before Grand finally erupted less than five minutes after the sun set. The top of the water column was tinged a little pink, but nothing spectacular. And once again, we got a short duration that was not followed up by a second burst.
