Went out to Geyser Hill to enjoy the nicest weather since our arrival, on the off chance Beehive might eruption. It didn't, so I headed in to reconfigure and go back out to Grand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saw Turban erupting as I was tying down my bike. Fortunate, as this was followed a Turban Delay interval of over 32 minutes. That Turban eruption coincided with the eruption of Beehive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An hour later, a visitor noticed a bear ambling across the flats to the north. It passed by Beauty, crossed the boardwalk and then headed off into the trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grand finally had the One Burst Eruption after seven Turban eruption intervals ending with another Delay Interval. The wind was strong from the south and the start didn't seem that tall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Had extra layers and the light, just in case. Turned out it wasn't necessary, as I only had to wait for one Turban eruption interval. At the start of that interval, West Triplet began to erupt, and Castle had a minor eruption during that time. Grand's pool had a nice, steady fill, and the One Burst Eruption without any Delay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At around the 8-1\/2 minute mark, Grand slowed down, acting like every jet was going to be the last one of the burst. It wasn't even a Big Sawmill mode. Then the activity picked up once any chance of a second burst was gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It took its time, but 45 minutes into the West Triplet eruption, suddenly Rift started steaming and within a few minutes was in eruption. I didn't wait for West Triplet to end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead went down basin for the first time this visit, and spent 40 minutes watching Fan & Mortar. There was no change during that time. River Vent was steaming the whole time. Bottom Vent was splashing strongly, but there was little runoff. Main Vent was strong and noisy, with some bursts and splashing well above the back rim, with heights up to two meters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
