It was just starting to get light at 06:00 as I tied my bike up over by Castle. Across the way there was a steaming area that looked suspiciously like Rift erupting. And it was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Rift eruption continued for almost another 1-1\/2 hours, finally ending at 07:23. There was no evidence of even runoff from West Triplet, no pools of wet in the runoff channel. During that time I saw a number of Bulger minor eruptions. Also spent time at Sawmill as Uncertain was strongly gurgling. Once it appeared as if it was starting to erupt, but then Sawmill's pool starting to boil and erupt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the Turban interval before the Grand eruption had lasted another 30 seconds, it would've been a Turban Delay interval. The eruption was nicely backlit, but extremely steamy. Fortunately, the rain on the north side was light so it was possible to see Turban and Vent start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the first burst ended at 10m18s, I figured the eruption was over and started head over to turn off my camera, when I was surprised by a second burst. The pause was extremely short, and steamy, but well above the steam over Grand .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crystal Spring had overflowed enough that the water in the runoff had reached the boardwalk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Went out in the afternoon with the expectation that it might be a long wait. Not surprised to see Crystal Spring and Belgian Pool way down, about 15cm with the shelf in Crystal partly exposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also not surprised when the second Turban eruption I saw came after a 32 minute interval, and include a couple of Grand boops. It took seven more Turban eruption intervals before Grand finally had the One Burst Erutpion. During the wait I saw some splashing from Sput A, and Sput D (Delta) erupted for the first time shortly before Grand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oval was low, and the north vent was occasionally jetting water onto the outer rim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The clouds were clearing as the moon was rising. During the wait for the next Grand, saw a couple of Daisy eruptions and what appeared to be a weak Oblong eruption. At least I didn't hear any activity, and the steam cloud wasn't all that big. The Grand eruption had two bursts, and since it lasted less than ten minutes, it could have had a third.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
