Observations for 2024 May 30


Beehive had a long interval, and the Indicator wasn't reported until it was in full eruption. But made it out there in plenty of time to see the eruption.

It was a cold, windy day. Made sure I got out to Grand early as I expected to have wait behind the Rift barrier, but it was decided to move it back to where it was yesterday and make the benches available. Turns out the carcass was not a bison but a cow elk, and it was getting attention from all the smaller scavengers.

That was good, as we needed them. Grand never had a Turban Delay interval, but never showed much in looking good or like it was trying to erupt. Then the Turban intervals got shorter, and Grand still didn't try. Finally, at just under ten hours we got the One Burst Grand eruption. (after quite a bit of booping). Went back in to get warmed up.

Went out to Grand before a cloudy sunset. At least the wind had decreased to a more tolerable level. The second Turban eruption we saw resulted in a couple of boops from Grand and a Turban Delay interval. The fourth Turban eruption after that was strong, and it sounded like Grand could start at any moment, but it didn't. Instead we had to wait two more Turban eruption intervals before we finally got our eruption. And as a reward, there was a second burst.
