Observations for 2025 June 01


The local ravens paid us a visit this morning. Suddenly there was all sorts of noise on the roof and in the trees nearby. I found the contents of the pouch on my bike scattered about, and Suzanne's bike seat had a nice hole punched into it.

Even before the Rift eruption I'd decided to sleep in this morning, but with that wakeup call, got out to Grand around the usual time. Waited a few Turban eruption intervals before we got the expected Delay interval. There wasn't any booping, but the strong convection over Grand's vent was clearly visible and doming at times.

Then had to wait the usual seven Turban intervals before Grand finally did erupt. As the eighteen minute mark on that interval approached, Grand did not look good, but it quickly filled so that by 22 minutes, Turban had started and Vent began overflowing. Still, Grand had to have several seconds of booping before finally initiating the eruption. And once again we got our One Burst Grand which lasted less than ten minutes.

Was contemplating going over to Geyser Hill when the Indicator call went out. Got over there just before the eruption, and had to make a decision as to where to go, especially after yesterday's eruption. The wind was strong and shifting all over the boardwalk. Ended up near Plume, and only had to use the umbrella for a few seconds near the end. Like the Grand eruption earlier, the Beehive eruption itself was knocked over by the wind. The length of board walk drenched was down near the sign and benches, and surprisingly narrow.

I noticed that both Belgian Pool and Crystal Springs were both extremely low as I headed over toward Grand.

Waited a couple of Turban eruption intervals before we got the Delay Interval. This one was relatively short at less that 27 minutes, when compared to the ones lasting well over 30 minutes we've had recently. Grand then had a One Burst Eruption just two Turban intervals later, on an interval that tried to become a Delay but came up short by about a minute.

Checked on Economic afterwards. It was strongly overflowing in all directions, with occasional convection. The water to the south reached nearly to Key Spring, while the runoff under the boardwalk extended well into the flats.
