I just saw that news story of people urinating in old faithful being caught on the cam 13:25 RichH47 I was watching that night. 13:28 RichH47 I cringe everytime I see someone off the sidewalk. 13:34 Jason Firefox see the geyser list of the truck on great fountains terrace by Lynn? 13:34 RichH47 Yes 13:35 RichH47 Lynn has had a very 'exciting' time the last few days. 13:36 RichH47 I liked the idea of making the wrong way drivers backing up all the way, not be let turn around. 13:38 Jason Firefox yeah but it could result in more damage to thermal areas as not everyone has the skills needed to backup for extended periods of time 13:39 RichH47 True 13:42 RichH47 I just wish there was a volunteer based program that would give talks about the geysers while people sit and wait for OF. 13:55 RichH47 I'm off to see the neighbor. 13:55 Derek ok 13:55 RichH47 Derek, Have a good evening.

Do you know when it is predicted? think I remember seeing it when Sat around 1800? 05:56 Graham it was 1818 last night so it should go in daylight 05:56 Victoria flying into MT or WY is always expensive. but landing is always an adventure with our mtns! 05:56 Victoria was hoping to catch BH this am before pretending to work today. Thx. 05:57 Graham no watchers up there yet 05:57 Graham haha 05:57 Victoria was someone on the bench watching OF, but no, haven't seen anyone walking around. 05:57 Graham its $330 from DC to Bozeman now, not too bad 05:58 Graham yeah always have a few early birds from the Inn and Lodges 05:58 Graham the BH warning system is probably active in the parking lot 05:58 Victoria that is actually relatively cheap. I was checking $ Blgs to Boston (new granddaughter due any minute) and running about 400. 05:58 Graham ah, congrats 05:59 Victoria no sweat on my part! 05:59 Victoria love being a spectator. 05:59 Graham BZN has some competition so tends to be cheaper.

HUGE backup. bigger than construction stops! 06:03 Graham its a beautiful drive, through Grand Teton park and the the JDRockafeller Memorial Parkway and into YNP. Long route for you but worth exploring sometime 06:03 Victoria I love going in from NE entrance, but my car is less than appreciative of the Beartooth switchbacks. 06:04 Graham getting to OF is going to take you longer this year 06:04 Graham yeah I did that road one time and it is great but slow too 06:04 Victoria yeap. about the time you are there the road will be closed. getting to Mammoth or Tower will be a long drive for you! 06:12 Graham Grand 0513ie 06:12 Graham the road will be closed for me so the trip to Norris will be via Hayden Valley 06:12 Graham sorry I was reading Lynns email post 06:16 Victoria starting some brkfst and watering lawn here!

Hopefully it goes today for the gazers in the sun 06:24 Victoria that would put it back on a 6 day interval. 06:28 Graham you know they are all getting restless watching it 06:29 Victoria restless yes, but can't think of much that is more enjoyable than just sitting THERE reading a book! 06:40 Graham yeah its a nice spot. I enjoyed it at night last Sept too 06:43 Victoria When you are in the Park in August, you should be able to get a great show of Mars without the city lights. Between that and our regular August shooting stars/comets, it should be great. 06:44 Victoria or will you be too late in 9 wks? 06:44 Graham the stars are anazing. I remember waiting at Giant in the dark and I just lay in the cage loking up at the stars 06:45 Graham I miss the main shooting star events then.

I was wondering if anyone was on the cam and then it moved :) 14:40 CC Plume 15:39 14:41 CC Would you take the cam 14:41 Jason Firefox Hey Graham, got a question for you 14:41 CC it is pretty quiet 14:41 Graham ok, I will take the cam. did you see Beehive? 14:41 Graham yes Jason? 14:42 CC no , I was teaching when it erupted 14:42 Graham ahhh bad Beehive. Rich's shot last night was good 14:42 CC got home minutes after it went into steam 14:42 Jason Firefox Was reading on the geyser list of Bijou pausing a lot. I can't tell from the emails if that's a negative thing or not. The way it sounds is negative 14:43 Jason Firefox I had made a comment about that to Derek, and he directed me to ask you about it 14:43 CC Jason where do you live? 14:44 Graham no, thats positive Jason. Bijou normally (as in when Giant can erupt) pauses every 20 minutes or so for a minute or two then restarts. 14:44 CC GO GIANT!!!! 14:44 Jason Firefox Ok good, way it sounded was EoF away from the giant platform 14:44 Graham For the last year it has been erupting nearly continuously which is regarded as bad. So seeing it stopping now might be a good sign for future Giant activity 14:45 Jason Firefox maybe a 2-3 year cycle, seems to be doing that since 2000 14:46 Jason Firefox I was just concerned, the emails were reading like an eof back towards ghrotto as they hadn't reported Bijou pausing resulting in hot periods 14:47 Graham well its cycles can be a lot longer too.....it had more eruptions in 97/98 than the previous 40 years I think 14:47 Jason Firefox Yeah I know, i missed it in 96 by a couple weeks, and by a day in 2001 14:47 CC Again Jason: Where do you live 14:47 Jason Firefox was seeming like 97/96, 2001/2002, then 2005-8 14:47 Graham even when Giant was not eerupting in recent years Bijou would still pause 14:47 Jason Firefox California CC 14:47 CC thanks 14:47 Jason Firefox Southern Cali 14:48 CC I have dear friends in San Diego 14:48 Jason Firefox I'm ~ 1 hour from San Diego 14:48 Jason Firefox I live near Temecula 14:48 CC many relatives in the LA area also 14:48 CC aah 14:48 Graham I am hoping I can keep my 4 years of Giant eruptions going this year so its got to get active in Sept 14:49 CC bet you will get to see F&M Though Graham 14:49 Graham nice that F&M erupted this morning too 14:49 Graham I hope so although this last interval was a little longer 14:49 Jason Firefox It's my luck really. F&M didn't erupt when i was there, and missed giant by a day 14:49 Jason Firefox saw boardwalk though 14:50 Jason Firefox Failed Mastiff eruption too :( Mastiff was surging ~ 10-20 feet 14:50 CC not as bad as me...I missed Steamboat by 1 hour 14:50 Graham hum..I don't think Boardwalk really makes up for missing them :) 14:50 Jason Firefox ouch CC 14:50 Graham I have missed several Giants by 1 day or overnight 14:50 CC the steam phase was awesome however 14:50 Graham missed one in 94 when it went on the next hot period after I went to bed 14:51 Jason Firefox I bet. Sounds like activity at norris has really gone down 14:51 Graham which tear was that CC? 14:51 Jason Firefox least in the tantalus creek area 14:51 Graham if Giant has a hot period now everyone will be running 14:51 Graham it could easily go on its first hot period 14:51 Jason Firefox When I was there it had hot periods ~ every 4 hours 14:52 Jason Firefox was amazing 14:52 Jason Firefox most of them weak 14:52 Jason Firefox some exciting 14:52 Jason Firefox Was a nice grotto fountain eruption at the end of the last hot period though 14:52 Graham a lot of the time it would have a better hot period every 6-10 hours 14:53 Jason Firefox Still a good time passer :D 14:54 Jason Firefox I avoid LA CC, less my wife wants to go to Chinatown 14:55 Graham in 2007 I saw it on the 6th hot period of the day at 0532, so weak hot periods every hour can be good 14:56 CC Graham I just sent you an e-mail of Giant but I don't know how to post it on this page 14:56 Graham that was the first hot period I called that morning, figuring that someone might be awake by then 14:56 CC maybe you can post it for Jason 14:56 CC Victor and I are not in this one...I am looking for it 14:58 Graham Jason can message you with email address or I can put them on Facebook 14:59 CC can't find the one of Jason and me 14:59 CC make that Victor and me 14:59 CC that's okay...just let it go 15:00 Graham wow that was tall 15:00 Graham OF 1559 15:01 Jason Firefox sorry was on a phonecall 15:03 Jason Firefox nice pic 15:05 CC Have a good night everybody 15:05 CC bye 15:06 Jason Firefox bye cc 15:07 Graham are you going to the park this year? 15:07 Graham I sent you some links to Giant on Facebook 15:08 Jason Firefox the 2006 picture hot period is almost like the one i saw, cept mastiff was slightly higher 15:10 Graham that was the first Normal function eruption I saw, was nice to watch the surging in Giants cone 15:11 Jason Firefox sigh, I want to go there so bad now 15:13 Graham when were you there last? 15:14 Jason Firefox September 20ish, 2001 15:14 Graham that's way too long 15:15 Jason Firefox i looked into flying to west yellowstone or surrounding areas.. to expensive for me and my wife 15:16 Graham I usually go to Bozeman or Jackson. Fares from DC are $330 around Labor Day to Bozeman.
