Since the interval for Beehive was already over 14 hours, decided to spend an hour on Geyser Hill just in case it decided to erupt. Left after an hour.
After last night, decided that I needed to continue to try to be out for a Grand eruption at six hours into the interval. Didn't need to do that, as the One Burst Grand eruption came just under the nine hour mark for the interval.

Had just left the cabin for the Snowlodge to do some laundry and hadn't left the cabin area when I heard the "five minute" call for Beehive's Indicator. I'd have heard the call for the start if I'd taken the radio with me to the indoor plumbing. With the Beehive interval already approaching 22 hours, I was thinking that it might be a short indicator, but instead it was well over 25 minutes long.
In the evening the weather was not particularly pleasant. It was gray and overcast with a strong wind. At one point everyone waiting dug out their raingear as there were some droplets and the sky looked like it could get much wetter, but the rain didn't ever come. Fortunately only had to wait an hour for the One Burst Grand eruption. The start was explosive, with the first jet of water about 10 meters high, with no preliminary warning. The eruption itself lasted under 8-1/2 minutes, one of the shortest eruptions of Grand I've seen. There was no attempt at Grand's vent even trying to refill.
