A pleasant surpise in the morning was seeing a report of Beehive's Indicator in eruption only a minute or two after it was sighted. So quickly got moving and had just crossed the bridge when Beehive began erupting. It was still drizzling, and the breeze was pushing the steam over toward Old Faithful (which was erupting, also). Suspect that was a 32hour interval, otherwise this was an extremely short interval of less than eleven hours.
The rains had stopped for several hours by the time it was time to head out to Grand. Spent a total of ten minutes getting a camera in position and ready to go. Just in time, as during the last few minutes the pool looked full and ready. A quick Grand start, preceeded by a boop, with Turban starting a few moments later. It turned out to be a One Burst Eruption. It also makes for about ten eruptions in a row with an interval of around six hours.

More showers, but by the time of the next Grand eruption rolled around, it was dry, and looked like it was going to stay that way. I saw a minor eruption of North Goggles as I walked out past Castle, and of course Sawmill was in eruption.
Got to the Grand Group and everything was quiet. Have seen little to no activity from any of the sput features, and nothing from West Triplet recently. A few minutes later Turban started, and the eruption lasted over 5-1/2 minutes. That was followed by an eruption interval without any overflow from Grand. These are signs that I probably missed a Turban Delay interval.
Except the next Turban interval was well over 25 minutes, with Grand starting (after some boops) at over 27. Turban and Vent both took their time getting started, with the later at over 3-1/2 minutes. The burst lasted just over nine minutes.
It was a steamy pause, but through the fog glimpses of water in the pool could be seen. No fill and drop this time, as we got the second burst. Once again, Vent & Turban quit with a short nine minute pause before restart.

On my way back to the bike, I got to see an eruption of Tilt start as I walked up. Tilt seems taller and more angled, and I noticed that there is no longer any water from Crested Pool going into it. There's also a small hole about 8 meters to the right that I don't remember from last year.
