Once again got out to Grand while the showers started. By the time I had the rain gear all put on and in place, I needed it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other than the report of empty crater around 06:00, had nothing much to go on. NPS had posted a prediction for which I was almost an hour early. Fortunately, only a short wait of two Turban eruption intervals. Grand, Turban and Vent overflowing all happened quickly, so I could see what was going on before the steam obscured everything. The burst lasting 8-3\/4 minutes was right in the inderterminent range for a second burst, but it did happen. And the steam had cleared enough to see the jetting from the second burst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stuck around for the Vent and Turban restart, but mostly to wait for the rain to subside. By the time I got back to the cabin, it was mostly over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was over by Sponge when North Goggle had a minor eruption. But by then the rains had restarted, so headed back in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was a pause in the rain so I headed out to Grand a little early. The pause ended as I arrived, along with an eruption of Turban. I spent the Turban interval getting ready for the rain. I was still playing with some camera settings when I noticed that Grand's pool looked full. Almost immediately there was a boil and the eruption started. The first burst lasted over nine minutes, which is previous years would make a second burst unlikely. But not quite a minute later jets appeared through the fog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn't expect June weather in August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rain did let up eventually, about an hour before sunset. Went out to Geyser Hill on the off chance that Beehive might erupt, but it was far too quiet. Left when it got dark. Did get to see a bull elk come off of the Hill, cross the river and head off toward Castle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
