Comments:Arrived at F&M and saw splashing in MV. At 1839 there was a concerted huff from UM and MV; splashing was frequent in MV from 1839 to 1852. One particularly large splash at 1842 sent water into EV. RV also nearly turned on during this time with heavy steam and the occasional spit, but it did not turn on and became quieter at 1849. Spritzing in UM visible at 1851. There was pooling in LM at 1853. (Both BV and LM had good water levels through the first half of the cycle. BV had wet rocks down to river but never entered full eruption.) Splashing in MV started again at 1854 and was frequent. At 1855, RV turned on for just five minutes and quit at 1900. Last splash in MV seen at 1902. RV paused for a total of six minutes and resumed at 1906. GV on somewhere between 1915 and 1917; water dropped in LM/BV. Water levels in Fan were variable to poor and never looked good. AV on at 1925. Stuck a fork in it at 1933 and left before cycle end. No eruption. Bonus note: black bear sighted at 1920 running through the trees near the pit toilet.
