The day started with a radio call for Beehive's Indicator. Unlike yesterday, this was at the start, not when it had been erupting for ten minutes.
The sun was coming over the ridge, so the top of Beehive's water column was in the sun, while the bottom quarter was still in the shadow. This mean we got a strong double rainbow at the top of the water column, and the shadow of the water column being projected over the meadow across the river.
Overnight, Grand had a long interval, so there was plenty of time before heading out. This was a clear but windy day. About an hour after I got out there, Turban had its Delay Interval eruption. That was followed by seven more Turban intervals before we got what looked like it would be another Delay. Instead of sitting full for ten minutes, the waves on Grand built up and we got a long One Burst Eruption. At the end, despite the length, there was water sloshing about in Grand's vent for over a minute. then we finally got our West Triplet eruption.

Spent the afternoon bug fixing my GeyserLog app, and was surprised to see that I'd lost track of the time and it was already 5-1/2 hours since that Grand eruption. Expected that the eruption would be well after sunset, so dressed appropriately.
Got out in time to see the start of West Triplet. When Grand didn't follow up with an eruption on the next couple of Turban eruption opportunities, that insured a post-sunset eruption. Fortunately, Rift stayed quiet when West Triplet finally ended. It was such a nice night that I had to apply bug repellent as the mosquitoes were active.
While West Triplet was erupting, Sput C-1 was also active. It could be easily heard from the boardwalk as it splashed and pushed out a steady stream of water.
It was still light enough to see Grand's pool having a late fill, and to see the start of another One Burst Eruption. There wasn't any wind, so there was also a nice base surge rolling across the formations and putting up a wall of obscuring steam.
