The day started with a 1d11h interval for Rift. The Grand Group had barely recovered from the previous eruption when this one started. Six hours later we finally got the One Burst Grand eruption starting explosively after several boops.
At first the Turban eruption intervals and durations got shorter as expected, but the last two eruptions had longer intervals and longer durations than earlier. The Rift eruption lasted about 2-3/4 hours, but it took three more hours before Grand finally had a long, strong fill. The Grand eruption lasted almost eleven minutes, yet Vent & Turban continued to erupt. It appears that the reactivation of Rift is finally having an effect on Grand.
During the wait, I did get to see Uncertain erupt. Others noticed that the vent was full and even overflowing while Sawmill was in eruption, so once one of the Turban eruptions ended, I walked down that way. As I passed Old Tardy, Sawmill ended. The Uncertain eruption took place within a couple of minutes.

Was going to wait for Castle after Grand erupted, based on the NPS prediction. But then several people started doing the math, and concluded that it would be several hours before Castle had a chance. That Castle was completely dead the whole time we were considering our options reinforced that conclusion. Castle ended up erupting over three hours later.
Grand is now seems to be in a mode where it is erupting three times a day, with two of the eruptions in the dark.
Went out at sunset for a Grand erupion in the dark. It was still light when we got a Turban Delay interval. Three Turban intervals later Grand had the One Burst Eruption lasting one second under ten minutes.

And why is it that family reunion groups staying in the Old Faithful Lodge Cabins have to be so loud and obnoxious? Do they not realize that not everyone is a part of their little clan?
