Turns out coming back in last night was a good idea. Grand erupted well after midnight with an interval of over eleven hours, with a Rift eruption during that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I didn't know that when I went out in the morning. Grand was in overflow, and Turban started shortly after I arrived. The duration was fairly short. Castle started a major eruption at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grand had a One Burst Eruption with the next Turban eruption, with West Triplet starting near the end. I decided to stick around to get the duration, and make sure Rift didn't erupt. Turns out Rift did erupt, giving it an interval of less than 10 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I figured that there was a good chance that Beehive might be active in the next few hours. That way once the wait in the Sawmill Group was over, I could hang around on Geyser Hill for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The wait for Uncertain wasn't long. Sawmill started shortly after I arrived, and that's when Uncertain started to splash heavily. Within ten minutes, it erupted, and both it and Sawmill ended their eruptions at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As usual, it was windy on Geyser Hill, and waited for about 45 minutes. Made the mistake of not waiting next to Aurum, as it erupted during that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Went back to the cabin for lunch, figuring I'd be out in the wind all afternoon at Grand, and could run out, as usual, for Beehive. Turns out no one called out the Indicator, and I only noticed the entry for the Indicator eight minutes after it started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With three of the last four Grand intervals near six hours (the fourth was near twelve) I had to go out at the six hour mark. Over the next 2-1\/2 hours, saw a mostly undistinguished series of Turban eruptions. The intervals slowly dropped from well over twenty minutes to less than eighteen. Then we got a Turban Delay interval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fortunately, Grand was able to erupt during that Delay, and it even had two bursts. The pool drained after the second burst, and there was never water visible after that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In turn, each one would step off the boardwalk and strike a stupid pose, as if they had accomplished something dramatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Near the start of Grand's eruption, West Triplet started. I stuck around to catch the end, just in case Rift had an even shorter interval. But while the West Triplet eruption seemed a bit long, it didn't trigger Rift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
