Got out to Grand at the 12-1\/2 hours mark, and didn't have enough time to get set up before the eruption started. It was a two burst eruption, and once again, around the 40 second mark of the second burst Grand went into Big Sawmill mode where it looked like it was going to stop, but would keep thrashing around with jets and boils less than 10 meters high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It lasted about 5-1\/2 minutes, and was already having pauses at the three minute mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The weather was heavily overcast, but with little rain forecast. Unfortunately, there were showers showing on the radar map headed our way. At around the six hour mark, Grand had a strong Turban Eruption Interval which caused the eruption to finally happen five Turban intervals later. Fortunately, the showers didn't really appear, although after yesterday I didn't take any chances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once again, Grand had a short first burst and a long second, where the second was long (this time by one second) and much of that time was in Big Sawmill mode. Not only that, but the whole eruption lasted less than ten minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wind by that time was steady and strong, so I decided that the railing near Plume would be save, and it was. The winds didn't shift during the eruption, so the only area that got wet were the two benches and the wide platform. Since Old Faithful erupted at the same time, the crowd for Beehive was small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It took six Turban eruption intervals from arrival at sunset to the One Burst Grand eruption. During that time we got to see Daisy erupt, a magenta sunset, and Castle finally have its major eruption after this morning's minor eruption. Grand was a disappointment, as the duration was just under 9-3\/4 minutes. A minute after the eruption ended Vent & Turban got quite powerful, then calmed back down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
