What I saw was some boiling to about 1\/2 meter for about 5-10 seconds. About 20 minutes later, after the One Burst Grand eruption, I got over there to find that Churn was just below overflow, and that Sawmill was high, but nowhere near overflow.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nDecided to spend some time down basin, just because there's so little going on down there that it's hard to get motivated to make a bike ride specifially to watch nothing.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAt Fan &amp; Mortar, I didn't see much organized activity. When Angle finally died down, River Vent came on almost immediately. The runoff from Bottom Vent was dry.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nBut I did see the otters, a blue heron and an osprey which was perching on trees and seemed to be letting the otters do its fishing.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFrom there I rode up on Spa just starting to overflow. There was increased overflow and boiling while was there, but I didn't stick around. Grotto had quit about an hour earlier, so not sure what this means.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAfter another One Burst Grand it was off to Aurum to take advantage of the shorter intervals. Didn't take long to get an up close recording of the full eruption.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIn the evening, arrived to see Rift sputtering away. It was accompanied by Sput D and Percolator, but eventually both of those quieted down. Grand itself had a Delay, and then Rift finally quit about an hour after I'd arrived. So instead of a nice sunset eruption, instead we got a One Burst Grand as it was slowly getting dark.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After yesterday's adventures it was time to get back to normal.
