Observed from the webcam. No visible boiling (cam is zoomed out and there is too much steam to see when zoomed in) but pronounced steam rising from runoff channels both north and south. Dry conditions and relatively warm temps out - not really conducive for runoff steam. |

Boiling constantly, variable intensity. 5 6" boils, one was sustained nearly a minute at the NE rim. 1 1' boil at 1021 that led to activity on full northern half of the pool. Most activity on NxNE rim, but shortlived and weak activity viewed across the pool. |

Upon arrival, the runoff channel between Giantess and Teakettle Spring was wet down to the bottom of the hill (evidence of runoff overnight). Vault was at about mid-level, the same as it was 8/12/22. Most of the boiling events during the morning/afternoon were along the N and NW side of the pool (in contrast to the predominating N/NE and E boiling seen more frequently this season). Many wide boils seen throughout the morning. Most were about 6", but a handful were 1-2'. At 0919 a 2' N boil put heavy runoff out the N/NW side of the pool - enough to create a cascade of water down a jagged part of the sinter platform facing Teakettle spring. The best activity observed was in the half hour preceding Beehive's 1106 eruption. From 1027-1029 there was an extended period of N rim boiling that reached up to 2' and at times consumed large areas of the pool. At 1039 a wide NE boil that was 2-3 ft. put runoff out the N side of the pool. Generally impressive boils with moderate amounts of NW runoff continued until 1058, when I left after seeing Beehive's Indicator ie. Upon return at 1120, Vault had begun visibly dropping and the activity at Giantess had died down considerably. The one exception was at 1211, when a sudden NW boil 2' in height put a significant amount of runoff down the NW channel and again created a cascade along that side of the platform. No notable boiling events occurred from then until I departed at 1315. |

Constant boiling, mostly in north and northwest of pool. Averaging a ~6" boil every 1-5 minutes. Four boiling episodes over 1'. Poolwide boils fairly frequent, with a few energetic 6+" boils in center. Frequent gentle boil in Vault, only once sustained for more than 60s. |

Vault's water level rose since yesterday and continued to rise slightly through this observation period. 1352 - 1 ft. NE boil with some runoff. 1402 wide N rim boil with multiple points of runoff. 1410 - estimated 2 ft. center pool/S rim boil. 1418 - impressive center pool/ S rim boil that I believe reached 3 ft. It did not maintain that height for long, but it broadened, lasted for 1m+, and was wide enough to cover the east half of the pool for probably 30s. 1422 and 1423 - low, wide N rim boils with runoff. 1425 and 1427 - wide N boils with notable runoff. Overall, activity quieted down after 1430 except for a NE boil at 1452 that put substantial runoff over the rim. |

Consistent wide boiling along the north/northeast rim for most of the morning, typically at intervals of about 10 minutes. One boil at 0912 easily reached three feet tall, though it quickly died down and was isolated to the NE rim. The most active period was from 0930-1040, with at least three wide (though short in height) N/NE rim boils that put runoff over the edge of the pool between 0930 and 1000. At 1025 there was a NE rim boil up to about 15" that had some force behind it. At 1037 a NW rim boil put a moderate amount of runoff out that side of the pool. Except for the 1037 event, most boils seemed concentrated on the NE rim. |

(wc) From around 1029 onward... Numerous wide, long-lasting, and some decently tall boils. Lots of white water visible from the camera, and only a minute (often less) between boils. Posting this note in hopes that someone in basin was watching it around this time, it would be nice to know how tall these boils actually are. Most boils appear to be along N-rim |

(wc) The camera has spent a fair amount of time on Giantess today: Mostly small but very wide boils, a lot of them are only a minute or two apart. The biggest boil of the day was at 1418, similar to the largest ones in the past few days. A lot of the boils are along the East rim. |

Center-south rim two-point boil (wc) Smaller in height than the ones yesterday, but wider. Again at 2022 but smaller and pretty much all South (and east?) Rim. It would be nice to have some in-basin confirmation of how large these boils actually are. The camera was only on Giantess from 2020 to 2023. |

Giantess had 3 north rim boils that were 1-2 feet in height and sent water over the edge of the crater during this time. The runoff from the boils dampened half the width of the runoff channel near Teakettle Spring. |

From Observation Point with binoculars. Over the past half hour, there have been 3 short episodes of North face boiling with of put out the front, then to right and left. Pool had episodes of low but vigorous boiling, although the appearance of agitation was helped along by strong wind. |

(wc) Very impressive boils over the last little while. None of them were exceptionally tall (I estimate most of them were only 6'') but there were a lot of them. It also seemed like the center of the pool and the N-rim were constantly sizzling a few inches in height. The pool was higher during this time than I have seen it recently, it was pushing out an impressive amount of water down the main channel and was even flowing a good amount of water into the second channel. We also saw what we thought was runoff coming down the "backside" (closest to the bw). The wind picked up and seemed to kill it around 1900. Entering a note because this was the hottest I have seen 'tess in a long time. |

Much increased activity from prev. days. High water level in Giantess' pool most of the day. Frequent boiling episodes, slowed down after the wind picked up but still put out semi frequent and relatively large activity despite the wind. Numerous 6"+ boils, several 1'+ boils, and a handful approaching 2'. Many with water pushing over the north or west rim. Near constant superheated boiling/bubbling across the pool. Boils are concentrated in the North/West quadrant, along the rim and towards the center of the pool, and are often doming, wide, or have multiple points.
Vault steadily rising most of the day, peaked and started dropping later in the afternoon. |

(wc) Had some decent activity this morning, but overall it declined. Whether that was weather-induced I don't know, but the two days before had good boiling activity despite unfavorable winds. Perhaps Dome's playing a role in it, too, as its series started somewhere overnight. |

GTS's pool higher than yesterday, at or just below the sharp edge. Near constant simmering noise with boilups. One 1'-1.5' boil at 1034 that put some runoff on the NE side of the pool near the channel. Wind started increasing around 1047 and the activity has slowed considerably. |

Saw and heard an explosive boil 3-6 feet high while at Aurum. Went over to the Giantess bench to investigate and have been observing since Aurum. North rim boils are frequent and wide, but not very high and not putting out a lot of overflow. Between concentrated boils the entire pool is in a simmering boil. Vault is only 2 inches below the rim and bubbling on the South en. Giabntess's Pool level is very high. The North Runoff channel is wet to the base of the Mound. Will continue observations until hunger takes hold or activity decreases. |

(wc) Picture-perfect steam devil formed over Giantess, easily over 75-100 feet high (based on height measurements done in-basin during Giantess' eruption). Steam column started rotating @ 1824:34 and became very distinct from the rest of the steam 21 seconds later. Attained maximum height @ 1825:01, after which it rose upwards. Started dissipating @ 1825:12 and was gone @ 1825:22. |

Some increase in activity, and a better overall status quo than the previous week, multiple larger boiling episodes this morning put out increased levels of water. As well, Giantess also had overall more boiling episodes, and longer periods of forced steam during the morning when the wind was calm. However, after the wind picked up in the afternoon both the boiling and forced steam episodes were minimal. |

Pool level at the sharp rim at my arrival. The slope behind teakettle had a very small trickle on it. Had a handful of boiling episodes, the largest reached maybe 1.5' and put out a fair amount of water over the north rim. A couple others that put out a little water over the N. rim. Wind started picking up around 1200. Giantess calmed down and the pool dropped a little bit. Vault still right around the water level of right before the 9-10 GTS. Still has bubbles breaking the surface in the back. Infant seems a bit lower than yesterday. |

Large boiling on Giantess at this time, due to steam the water could not be observed. However there was dramatically increased steam, and lots of forced steam at this time. The boil pushed out enough water to create a separate steam plume following the runoff down the channel. Runoff steam plume was not visible earlier in the morning. (Even when it was colder) |

(wc) No change in status quo over the last few days. SE runoff remains dark. Have not been able to observe many boiling episodes due to Mugwump and steamy starts of the day obscuring much of the pool and its steam (which is a good thing as Giantess' boiling - especially the larger ones - pretty much always had me on the edge of my seat). Bacterial mat has a very bright yellow color from cam. Last "general update note" for at least one or two weeks or until significant changes occur. |

Water level up to the top of the sharp rim at this time, dropped shortly after the wind really got started. Largest boil I saw in over an hour was probably 8"-10". Slope behind teakettle is just as wet as I saw 2.5 weeks ago. Vault is now at nearly the same level as it was an hour prior to the last Giantess, still has bubbles breaking the surface in the back. |

(wc) Maintained status quo (getting a bit repetitive here :D). Anyway, had some decent boiling activity throughout the day, peaking in the morning (again). This time the SE rim got involved as well, a marked break in boiling activity the past days where it was N rim-dominated. Heights usually didn't exceed 1-2 feet, perhaps 3. Two boiling episodes were of note: SE rim @ 0917:55 for ±25s at 2-3 feet and also SE rim 1054:08 for 20s 2-4 feet. Estimate would be that the SE rim had about 5% of all boiling activity, with the N rim accounting for the remainder. As for N rim regions, I estimate it was a nearly equal three-way split between the NW, N and NE regions as far as boiling episode region is considered, with the NE rim being ±more active in the afternoon than the other regions. |

(wc) Maintained status quo today. Overall nice boiling activity in the morning before the wind increased before noon, after which it was pretty much a flat pool for the remainder of the day. Boiling itself, however, was weaker compared with yesterday but average overall. At shorter intervals than yesterday, however (minutes apart rather than some 30-60 minutes yesterday that I could observe). |

(wc) Large N semicircle to full pool boil 1-2 feet 1112:32 - 1112:40. Appears to have been an isolated event. Activity took a break of about 30 minutes before the next boil in W semicircle @ 1141:25, sustained for 15s up to 1-2 feet. Boils started picking up pace very slowly with N rim-focused boils. Pool-wide boil up to 2-3 feet (maybe even 4 feet) @ 1301:19 for 20s began at N rim and ended at NE rim. |

(wc) Appears to have maintained status quo since my last note. Worth noting this time is that Giantess had a few decent boiling episodes inferred by forced steam about 20-30 minutes before Beehive went, despite wind conditions being less than optimal for any activity other than overflowing strongly with the occasional (weak) boil. After Beehive I hadn't seen any boiling as of writing this note, even though the cam was on the Hill for much of the time. |

(wc) Pool appears to have been high with only fragments of the white ring visible at all times I've observed it the past 2 days or so. It appears the hot/cold phases are now only identifiable by steam output of the pool; the SE runoff itself has always been steamy over the past days. Have barely seen any boiling aside from the already noted boiling episodes from webcam, though, which is kind of surprising but also not since it has been fairly windy. New for me is a light W rim boil @ 1551 today. |

Slight progression fr 6am. Infant is starting to clear with geyser scum on sides. Pool continues to be full with some water seen in wash area William Said to keep an eye on. Vault now has minimal bubbles {entrant's note: This note was originally entered as an eruption, which it isn't. I've saved it in case it got flagged away, which it seemingly has been. Text has been kept as-is.} |

No strong boils seen, rim boiling only. Pool level is high and runoff shoulder is damp. Vault is unchanged since my last observation. Infant water level has dropped slightly and pool appears to be a clearer brown color. |

Pool high and multiple rim boils along the boardwalk side of the pool. Runoff down the shoulder still light with no evidence of newly wet areas. Vault with typical water level and back bubbling. Infant still muddy, splotchy and high with occasional light bubbles from the middle of the pool. |

Center pool boil to about 1-2ft, and 4-6ft in diameter. Lasted about 15 seconds. Repeat performance at 1011, 1015, 1018, 1024, 1026, and 1028. One of those around 1018 was quite vigorous. Boil center pool 1031. Small but sustained boil 1033. Wide center pool boil, bit punchy, 1035. |

(wc) No change in status quo, although observed boiling today seemed a little more vigorous than yesterday. Had some good boiling episodes between ±1100 to ±1200 (including a strong one covering the NE quadrant which later split into two - N and NE) and hotter than usual from 1503-onw. Over the past few days it has become apparant to me that boiling episodes happen almost exclusively when the pool is emitting more steam than usual for ambient temperatures. In this "hot" phase, it appears the pool rises to a higher-than-usual water level, causing a noticeable increase in steam at the SE runoff area. Runoff also becomes noticeably darker as this hot phase continues; this becomes apparant about 30 to 40 minutes after the start. Boiling also happens frequently, but it seems to be only of visible size (or only happen) when there's little or no wind. Some of these hot phases feature a thin, white ring around the pool, while others don't (likely the stronger hot phases). No idea on how long these hot phases last, but could easily be well over an hour or more. In the "cold" phase, it appears the pool emits steam as usual for ambient temperatures and there appears to be little or no boiling. The pool also appears low, with an easily visible, ±continuous, white ring around the pool. As for when Giantess transitions to a hot phase - I am not sure. The 1503 hot phase started with a weak, but visible, N rim boiling episode, so visible boiling while the pool is low may be an indicator for that. |

Heard, then saw 1'-2' boil on the nw side of the pool from Aurum. This was the only such boiling episode witnessed since 18:00. Runoff shoulder has some water but appears to have decreased volume since my last observation. Vault is high with light bubbles and Infant is high with muddy water and some splotchy areas of mud around the pool rim. |

(wc) Not much change in status quo since my previous note. In sunlight the SE runoff is quite dark, nearly black in certain spots. Occasional boiling episodes today spaced minutes to hours apart, including two fairly decent ones in the afternoon at the NE and N rim. Haven't seen much SE rim involvement other than a few steam pushes in the morning after the fog had cleared after 0900-ish. Did see a big, dense push before the fog had lifted (even after taking into account temperatures and humidity), which may have had its origins at the SE or NE rim. |

Water level perhaps slightly higher than yesterday, and the slope behind teakettle is more wet than yesterday. The area directly to the right of Vault looks wet. |

(wc) Series of "quickfire" N semicircle boils 1528ie, varying from only inferrable by steam to clearly visible spaced apart seconds to minutes. Most boils were at the N rim, with the occasional boil at the NE or NW rim. Once again little to no SE rim involvement. Also noteworthy is that the already dark runoff appears to have darkened further since this morning, with *steamy* SE runoff persisting for much of the day. I suspect this steam is mainly due to lower temperatures today than yesterday - low 50s°F compared with low 70s°F yesterday, but included it nonetheless since I don't remember seeing as much yesterday morning, when the temperatures were lower than or comparable to today. A smoother stream would help, since this choppy mess of slideshow "stream" isn't making things easier. |

No significant boils or rim boiling during observation. Runoff channel down the NE shoulder is wet but not trickling or pooling. Vault is at typical level with bubbles in the back of the pool. Infant is high with muddy brown water which seems to clearing with muddy splotches in the back half of the pool. |

(wc) Winds have decreased after being unfavorably strong for much of the afternoon, with few boiling episodes noted. Interesting was that these boiling episodes were primarily at SE rim, with little involvement of the N rim. 1659 strong, bubble shower-like N rim boils covering the NW quadrant of the pool and some of the SW and NE quadrants, enough to make my heart go racing and to have noticeable shaking due to adrenaline rush. Of lesser magnitude 1703. More focused N rim boils 1719, height 1-2 feet. Of same size but short-lived 1724. N rim to center 1725, 1727. N rim 1729. Weak N rim 1736. NE rim 1741. Center pool 1744. SE steamy overflow becoming very noticeable. N rim weak 1747. Big NE rim 1749. [break]. Winds increased inbetween 1754 and 1808. N & NE rim 1821, weak. Pool appears to still be hot and overflowing copiously at the SE rim as of 1915, but haven't seen any boiling episodes since 1821. Wouldn't be surprised in the sense of unexpectedness if it goes tomorrow morning, if not overnight should it maintain status quo. |
