At least 5 Clepsydra pauses after Fountain. Likely in a stall, did not stay. This morning's "stall" had an interval of 4h24m, so this doesn't automatically mean it will be a long interval. |

Water level has come up slightly from the low/empty level. Still very low. Stopped rising about 1800. Still doing some slight rise and drop cycles. Some rocks still visible including the tip of the triangular rock on the right side. |

Arrived to find the entire Fountain area really quiet except for New Bellefontaine. Jets every 3-4 minutes but short and weak. Spasm came on fairly strong 1800. For the time we were there, Morning was quite full and continuing to rise. 1823 water rose in Fountain so visible from observation deck but then held at about 18 in below overflow. Clepsydra alternated periods of quiet with periods of activity during which mainly vents 2 and 3 erupted with many blue bubbles and excellent height. We reported to Tara, who said this was a stall and, while we had a 50/50 chance of getting Fountain as long as Clep alternated starting and stoppi g, the more likely scenario was an eruption 7.5 to 10.5 hours after previous Fountain eruption. |

Fountain area, PEANOT is full and overflowing but not erupting. Jet and Super Frying Pan are off. No water in Spasm. Bearclaw is growling but nothing is making it to the surface. Clep is ie. Jelly is too low to see the water level. |

No eruption during this time. Stall behavior: Fountain and Morning water levels high, Spasm high and surging 2-4', Clepsydra pausing and restarting periodically, Jet rumbling constantly with erratic eruptions. Clepsydra last pause 0013 and last restart 0016, steady from then until 0030 when I left the area. I am confident the 10h interval is closed. |

Electronic logger seems to be missing some (not all) mid-day eruptions. Eruptions observed directly are not always represented in the logger data in that time period. Long intervals, as always, may or may not represent closed intervals, even with the assistance of the electronic logger. |

Empty and damp. Clepsydra side pool water high. Clepsydra on steady, not trying to pause. Ftn must have erupted recently, maybe 0700 to 0730? (0737 per Lynn) Spasm empty. No water visible in Jelly. 0850 water slightly higher in Ftn but still full of rocks. No water visible in Morning. 0905 Jelly water rising, deep in the vent. 0920, 0935 unchanged, Jelly slowly rising. 0950 Fountain water level down a little to "normal" level. 1005 Clepsydra side vent boiling on left side. 1020 unchanged. 1035 water barely visible in Morning. 1050 unchanged. |

high water level in Fountain and Morning, Spasm full & intermittently bursting 2-4', Clepsydra pausing, Jet dry and grumbling. Water levels rose in F, M, & MT which showed visible boiling at 1806. Jet grumbling got louder until it erupted at 1800. Clepsydra last pause 1822, on at 1826, full strength & steady at 1835. F, M, & MT dropped a few inches after Clep became steady, no eruptions from any of the 3 as of 1920. Will fill in more details later. |

Water level extremely high in both Fountain and Morning. Water well out the "neck" of Ftn, maybe 1 foot below rim. Looks to be a stall, though I did not see any unusual behavior from Clepsydra during my time observing the group. |

Based on water surrounding platform, no water seen in Morning or Fountain, and Clepsydra's side vent being full of water, I would assume an eruption occurred sometime in previous hour. |

No eruption yet since 0615ie Fountain. No water or much steam from Morning's Thief as of 1530. Water level in Morning was rising extremely slowly and as of 1530 had not covered the "island" next to the peninsula on the left side of the crater. It had a lazy boil with very little convection at that time. |

Clepsydra was ie, Fountain had recently finished an eruption. Clepsydra’s side vent still a blue pool filled with water. Jet was not erupting at one to five minute intervals so the recent eruption of Fountain was not a dual with Morning. |

Water level in Clepsydra’s side vent (CSV) visible but pool is not completely full. Estimated time of most frequent Fountain eruption is about 1-1/12 to 2-1/2 hours ago based on other observations made over the past two weeks of the relationship between the water level in CSV and Fountain’s eruptions. |

Arrived around 13:30 to find Clep pausing frequently and high water levels in Fountain and Morning. We all thought the behavior was odd, because we thought Fountain's interval was approaching 8h. Found out later that Fountain went short and erupted just under three hours before we arrived. Mystery solved. The Fountain group was in a stall for most of the afternoon. At 14:49, Fountain had water within a foot of overflow. Noted at 16:07 that Fountain appeared to be dropping. Water was high in Morning the whole time, and we did note convection at 14:37 as well as some bubbles later on and throughout a lot of the afternoon. Clepsydra was having long, frequent pauses early in the afternoon, the last one I noted started at 14:33. Jet was not in series as far as I'm aware when we arrived, but the activity slowly picked up throughout the day. Several Twig's - though I only noted one at 14:28 - and activity from other features. We first noticed bubbling in MT at 15:14. That eventually progressed to a boil, and an eruption at 20:28. We left after that.
Just as we were about to go behind the trees driving away, saw Fountain's steam column start to rise. 20:42, likely ns. We went back to take a look. Just Fountain, with a beautiful sunset in the background. Could have been more MT's, did not stick around for duration. |

When I arrived at Fountain it was in a stall. Jim H. Was out about an half an hour before me and saw the same thing, Clep and Twig on and off, the water in Fountain and Morning was high and easly visable from the boardwalk,. Clep finally turned on and stayed on at 1626. After that the water levels in Fountain and Morning dropped about 4 inches and stayed at that level untol I left at 2000 with no eruption. |

Appeared to have erupted recently. Did not see Clepsydra pause, but all of Fountain’s runoff channels are very wet, and couldn’t see any water in the bottom of the crater. |
