Once again out at dawn in case Grand ignored the Rift eruption and had another shorter interval. There were three bison grazing on both sides of the bike trail just across from the store as I rode out. It was warm enough that there wasn't any ice on the walkways, and the sky had cleared enough that the sunrise wasn't brownish-orange. Didn't have to wait long for the Grand erupion. While the first burst was moderatly long, the second wasn't totally unexpected.

Spent the rest of the morning at Artemisia, which showed no signs of trying to erupt.
The afternoon Grand also had a short wait. Despite the One Burst Grand lasting over ten minutes, the pool refilled enough to be seen sloshing about for about fifteen seconds before finally draining.

It was not quite dark when I pulled up to the bike rack and Castle started to erupt. Unfortunately, it was a six minute minor.
So went over to Grand where I noticed that West Triplet had a wet runoff channel. Then waited one Turban interval for the Grand eruption. Turban started the eruption, but with the bright lights deployed, we could easily see the strong waves and boops. It had two bursts, and lasted just under ten minutes, with no attempt at a third burst. It's interesting how these short two burst eruptions cause Vent & Turban to quit.
