Observations for 2026 June 07


Got a late start because Grand had a short interval overnight. Woke up to showers that were clearing at the time to head out approached. The wind also started to pick up around then, and it was strong for the rest of the day.

At Grand, first I got a Turban Delay Interval, then West Triplet started to erupt. Two Turban eruption intervals later, we got a second Delay Interval. With that, it looked to be a long wait.

Two hours and six Turban eruption intervals later, Grand finally erupted. Grand's pool filled early and then stayed high as waves started around the 16 minute mark. Vent overflowed well before Grand started to boil and boop. An 8-1/2 minute interval was a good indication that we were going to get a second burst, and we did. Despite the total duration being less than ten minutes, Vent & Turban quit.

It never got warm during the day, and the wind never died down. A good day to stay inside and let others brave the wind, except that Beehive had a mid-afternoon no-Indicator eruption.

Conditions were unchanged when it was time to head out to Grand. After an hour wait, we got a Turban Delay interval, and then had to wait another five more Turban intervals before Grand showed signs of wanting to erupt. It was still light, and the wind pushed the steam from the runoff away, making Grand easily visible. West Triplet had no water visible during the wait, but rose and erupted during Grand's One Burst Eruption. The only thing of note with the eruption was that despite the longer duration (about 10-1/2 minutes), Vent & Turban died down briefly, but then did not quit. Did not see any afterplay from Grand in the few minutes before we all headed in to warm up.
