It was a windy, cool morning. The temperature was only 50F, but the wind made up for it. The wind also blew the water column from Beehive right at most of the railing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once again, just missed a Grand eruption at dawn. I was a bit surprised that there would be two short intervals following yesterday's long wait. The wait for the mid-day Grand eruption wasn't so bad, just under 7-1\/2 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That eruption started out fairly normal, but with a lot happening in a short period of time. From Vent Overflow to Boops to Turban Start to Grand Start took twelve seconds. That first burst lasted only 7m18s, which either meant we got to see the shorted Grand in years, or were going to get a second burst. That second burst lasted exactly 75 seconds, just enough to qualify for a \"*\" marker. The last 30 seconds consisted of Grand trying to stop, but instead boiling up in Big Sawmill Mode. With the total duration at that point under nine minutes, again not surprised when we got a third burst. There was no attempt at a fourth, and Vent & Turban shut off within half a minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While waiting for Grand, I noticed a small sput to the south\/right of Sput D. At first I thought it was activity from Sputnik, but after getting closer, determined that it was Sput G, which I first noticed about this time last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After Grand I noticed that West Triplet was full. About nine minutes after Vent & Turban quit it started to overflow. After about two minutes, with water pouring out, thumps started, and collapsing bubbles could be seen down in the vent. This lasted for about a minute and a half, with overflow stopping shortly after.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It was a windy, cool morning.
