07:20:25
<Kat> Awesome!
07:20:41
<Kat> Perfectionist?
07:21:33
<Forestbewithyou> a bit. It specifically comes with Math and Science because I know I can do better
07:22:15
<Kat> I used to be the same - I actually took chemistry a second time to get a better grade Haha
07:22:29
<Forestbewithyou> Yea I wouldn't do that
07:22:45

08:24:53
<KorbenC> Morning Everyone
08:25:12
<KorbenC> I guess my weekend of tiredness caught up with me by sleeping in 3.5 hours :P
08:26:38
<Ryan> Morning, KC.
08:27:00
<KorbenC> Good morning Ryan, how was your weekend?
08:27:44
<Ryan> Incredible.
08:28:25
<KorbenC> I saw that you found your open room
08:28:30
<KorbenC> (in the cave)
08:28:51
<Ryan> That was a different cave than usual.
08:29:49
<KorbenC> Your name for it, lmao
08:30:26
<Ryan> Thats about as accurate as it could be. At least mentally/
08:30:44
<Ryan> We named one little formation "Neowise".
08:31:17
<KorbenC> thats cool
08:31:26
<ynpvisitor56> https://i.imgur.com/HRd1vuu.jpg Neowise Formation
08:31:28
<ynpvisitor12> SantaFe108
08:31:49
<SantaFe108> oops
08:32:01
<KorbenC> Hi SF
08:32:13
<SantaFe108> morning korben
08:32:23
<Ryan> Discoveries were expected in the survey of this cave, but that room was an utter and complete shock.
08:32:25
<SantaFe108> I have left the park so I will have internet
08:32:31
<KorbenC> wait, how does 56 have Ryans photos? :p
08:33:08
<Ryan> :) Easier to copypasta from my phone.
08:33:09
<KorbenC> SantaFe108, did you see Beehive?
08:33:23
<Ryan> We should look down basin
08:33:28
<Ryan> South Grotto Fountain is ie
08:33:29
<SantaFe108> No I left upper 2 hours before because my family went fishing :(
08:33:40
<Ryan> we may get Grotto Fountain soon
08:33:58
<KorbenC> Ryan, I think GF might be ie right now, more steam than just SGF
08:34:24
<KorbenC> is this like your, "hope daisys looking good", "oh hey, its erupting" :)
08:34:27
<Ryan> Not sure, I can't tell from here :P
08:34:38
<SantaFe108> On my way out this morning there was a survey crew by Mud Volcano
08:35:31
<SantaFe108> they parked in a turnoff and they walked towards the north part by sulphur cauldron
08:36:24
<Ryan> No Grotto Fountain, KC. You saw Grotto.
08:36:27
<Ryan> 0831 wc
08:37:00
<KorbenC> thanks
08:37:22
<KorbenC> SB Note: No water back at hte boat, huffing. Per CB
08:38:34
<Ryan> In ten hours we surveyed 2,800ft of passage, discovered a stunning room, several small pits and waterfalls, and I got lost and starnded after my light went out...
08:38:41
<Ryan> Can't say ive ever had a trip like that before
08:38:58
<KorbenC> how did you find your way out?
08:39:11
<Ryan> My caving partner found me
08:39:34
<Ryan> She was only 60ft away or so. I just sat down and starting making whooping noises. She knows what that means.
08:39:44
<KorbenC> :thumbsup:
08:40:21
<Ryan> Happens.
08:40:29
<KorbenC> always good to have some sort of signal like that, were you with Hope?
08:40:44
<Ryan> I've gotten turned around a time or two. But I've rarely been "lost". Sunday is one of those times lol
08:40:46
<Ryan> No.
08:43:40
<Ryan> I can only think of two times I legit didnt know where I was and how I got there.
08:44:04
<Ryan> Sunday, and one time with Will in Wyoming. Both times involved me scouting out a route on my own lol
08:44:23
<KorbenC> :thumbsup: lol
08:44:51
<Ryan> The time with Will I got myself out of it, but even then I was confused as to how I got where I did.
08:45:33
<Forestbewithyou> hey Hey
08:45:36
<KorbenC> wb Forest
08:45:53
<Forestbewithyou> Thx
08:45:58
<KorbenC> Ryan, are there any caves, or should I say, are there any caves you cna go into in YNP?
08:46:32
<Ryan> Yes and then no.
08:49:31
<Ryan> My county has taken off with COVID cases. :/
08:49:44
<KorbenC> :(
08:51:54
<Ryan> We plateaued for 2 months, got complacent and cocky, and now we have tripled our case count in only three weeks
08:52:29
<Forestbewithyou> that sucksE!
08:52:53
<Ryan> And was expected and (frankly) deserved.
08:53:18
<KorbenC> Hi KevinS
08:53:46
<KevinS> Good morning all
08:54:01
<KorbenC> KevinS, where are you?
08:54:15
<Ryan> I think a majority here dont believe in it. I swear to God.
08:54:28
<KevinS> Geyser hill
08:56:16
<KevinS> Infant still dirty and swirling.
08:56:32
<KorbenC> any large boiling on Giantess?
08:57:05
<KevinS> Not yet. Just getting here though
08:58:05
<KevinS> Vault half inch below overflow.
08:58:58
<Ryan> Giantess needs to pick up the pace
08:59:08
<Ryan> Those little boils are not nearly enough.
09:00:05
<KevinS> Giantess boil about 10” high on northeast rim. 10-12’ wide.
09:02:04
<Eric> Morning all
09:02:09
<Forestbewithyou> Hey Eric
09:02:15
<Eric> Hi Forest
09:02:20
<KorbenC> HI Eric
09:02:21
<Forestbewithyou> how are you doing today
09:02:27
<Eric> Hey Coop
09:02:37
<Eric> Doing ok...just getting my work day going :-D
09:03:08
<Kat> Hi eric
09:03:28
<Eric> Hi Kat
09:03:48
<KevinS> Bear spotted by William down basin.
09:03:50
<Eric> Looks like another beautiful day in the park!
09:04:05
<Eric> Is he at Arty?
09:04:34
<KevinS> Near spa
09:06:41
<KevinS> Came out from Fan and Mortar area.
09:08:45
<Eric> Nice...Grizzlies love that power line route
09:09:29
<Eric> Is the old bathroom gone from there?
09:09:58
<KorbenC> Eric, yes
09:10:07
<KorbenC> but there is a new pit toilet by riverside
09:10:27
<Eric> Yes, I have used the riverside one, but I didn't pay any attention to if they had removed the old one
09:11:32
<KorbenC> Jarno, if you are here 80/80 Atlantic Invest
09:12:37
<Eric> You guys need your own weather chat :-P
09:12:47
<Forestbewithyou> lololol
09:12:55
<Forestbewithyou> Count me in!!!
09:12:58
<Forestbewithyou> :)
09:13:07
<KorbenC> and Tropical Storm douglas is on track to become a hurricane this afternoon, then hitting Hawaii as a tropical storm, I feel bad for Kevin's package :)
09:13:10
<KorbenC> Eric, I do :P
09:13:38
<Forestbewithyou> are you going to say here Korben?
09:14:17
<KorbenC> well, the other chat requires a password, that prevents strollers from getting on it :)
09:14:30
<KorbenC> trollers** I hate autocorrect
09:14:36
<Forestbewithyou> I see :)
09:17:54
<Eric> That is an interesting idea.....you have to know the magic word to get into here :-P
09:18:28
<Eric> But seems like more of a PITA then helpful, so everyone here is so awesome!
09:18:50
<KorbenC> what is PITA, I assume your arent talking about the chip type
09:18:52
<KorbenC> Hi KC
09:18:53
<Eric> ugg, english...not my strong suit in the mornings :-P
09:18:54
<KorbenC> kc***
09:19:34
<kc (working)> pain in the .. good morning
09:20:31
<Mike J> Sorry, just caught up on the conversation. But restricting strollers was sounding a little like "get off my lawn!" Not that I didn't like the idea, just saying....
09:20:49
<KevinS> Giantess starting to boil again.
09:21:51
<KevinS> Not much that time.
09:28:53
<KevinS> Castle having nice splashes

10:19:45
<Slingin' Sammy> Hi Korben. Historical sports reference today
10:20:19
<Slingin' Sammy> Any Giantess boils today?
10:21:10

10:24:03
<Ryan> Morning Jimbo, none that matter lol
10:24:23
<Eric> Daisy ie...btw...in case forest missed it
10:26:18
<KorbenC> Ryan, can you grab this OF? I am gonna head out for a quick walk
10:27:20
<Ryan> sure
10:27:55
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Good luck
10:28:10
<Ryan> no kidding
10:36:47
<SantaFe108> Kevin
10:43:46
<Forestbewithyou> aurum
10:45:20
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Was that Aurum? Controls kicked me off
10:45:25
<Forestbewithyou> yes
10:45:54
<Eric> :-D
10:45:57
<Forestbewithyou> lol
10:46:52
<Eric> I really do need to set a timer on that capture....if someone captured one in the last 30 seconds, probably don't need another one :-P
10:47:08
<Eric> Would help with multiple people trying to be helpful
10:47:51
<Forestbewithyou> yea
10:48:30
<Kevin L™ 🌵> True Eric. Controls kicked me then I tried to get them back and they kicked me again. By the time I got them back it was over. :P
10:48:40
<Forestbewithyou> RIP
10:48:42
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Would have made a great close up/
10:48:57
<Eric> Yes, you can see in the recording how choppy the camera was
10:49:21
<Eric> Yes, it looked really nice if the camera actually cooperated!
10:49:42
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Yep. I think when I tried to get it back it was during another down time.
10:51:35
<Eric> Nobody entered OF?
10:52:08
<Forestbewithyou> I guess not...
10:52:17
<ynpvisitor52> Aurum 1043 replay https://youtu.be/t9-xeMck_I8
10:52:20
<Forestbewithyou> who wants to
10:52:28
<Eric> You Forest!
10:52:34
<Forestbewithyou> what tiem :)
10:52:52
<Forestbewithyou> someone got it
10:53:32
<SantaFe108> Ryan got it I think
10:53:56
<Forestbewithyou> no I think someone else logged it
10:54:00
<Forestbewithyou> he did the get video
10:54:17
<SantaFe108> Weird
10:54:49
<Forestbewithyou> I never write down times of geysers because I never know how far behind my stream is.
10:55:31
<Forestbewithyou> when I said Aurum I was worried that my stream was like 5 min behind or something
11:05:53
<KorbenC> /
11:05:59
<KorbenC> I am back from my walk
11:06:10
<Forestbewithyou> Nice you missed Aurum
11:06:20
<Forestbewithyou> thats about it
11:06:24
<KorbenC> at least I didnt miss SB
11:06:29
<Forestbewithyou> fair
11:06:42
<KorbenC> Ryan, I thought you were gonna grab that OF?
11:06:51
<Forestbewithyou> he did a get video
11:07:07
<KorbenC> Myg
11:07:18
<KorbenC> Mug**
11:07:38
<KorbenC> CB and Craig are there, thats nice
11:07:45
<KorbenC> Ryan, you get 50% credit :P
11:11:13
<SantaFe108> left pocatello ID south and passed some amazing basalt pillars
11:11:33
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Those are pretty cool
11:11:51
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Good truck stop by them.
11:12:04
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Great cinnamon rolls.
11:12:17
<SantaFe108> I 15 rides right on top of the lava flow and its spectacular
11:13:12
<Kevin L™ 🌵> It was awesome before the safety project. Lava right to the edge of the road.
11:13:19
<SantaFe108> Kevin, you said yesterday the chief had 14hr delay?
11:13:25
<SantaFe108> I missed what you said
11:14:07
<Kevin L™ 🌵> It was 17 hours late into Victorville. I guess both units totally died at Raton.
11:14:13
<SantaFe108> Wow
11:14:32
<SantaFe108> Did they get a tow?
11:14:56
<Kevin L™ 🌵> New units
11:15:42
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Only did a 45 second stop in Barstow.
11:15:48
<SantaFe108> I saw the chief coming down the Cajon on Friday on my way to YNP
11:16:18
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Been a long time since I have seen Amtrak in person.
11:16:51
<SantaFe108> I'm going to be taking chief on August 5
11:18:38
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Hope you don't get one of the bad ones! Where are you taking it to?
11:19:49
<SantaFe108> Chicago to Riverside, CA
11:20:03
<SantaFe108> California or bust
11:21:12
<Kevin L™ 🌵> As of late it is bust. Been about 4 to 5 hours late for the last 5 days. Those P42's are straining.
11:22:29
<SantaFe108> They haven't got long before Chargers replace then
11:23:29
<Kevin L™ 🌵> This week may speed that up. Between the heat and the hills they don't do well but they are 30 years old!
11:24:04
<Kevin L™ 🌵> My favorite was the Pepsi can Dash 8B.
11:25:18
<ynpvisitor52> 1106 mugwump https://youtu.be/7UOXDJXX_pM
11:25:29
<KorbenC> ynpvisitor52, thx
11:26:08
<SantaFe108> Imagine museums with p42's in the future
11:26:11
<SantaFe108> Lol
11:27:54
<Kevin L™ 🌵> They do deserve it though. Very different engine that lasted a long time. I was amazed how much more fuel efficient they were than the Dash 8s.
11:28:34
<SantaFe108> It would be interesting to see museum excursions led by ex Amtrak units
11:29:37
<Kevin L™ 🌵> I got a kick out of old time geyser gazer John Muller. I told him I drive an antique diesel engine (Alco RS-2). He told me there was no such thing as an antique diesel engine.
11:30:51
<Kevin L™ 🌵> There is a SDP40F at our museum.
11:31:35
<SantaFe108> I love cowl units
11:32:19
<Kevin L™ 🌵> They are interesting. It is the one in Maersk paint.
11:32:48
<SantaFe108> Down here our most recent loco addition has been our ATSF FP45 in warbonnet scheme
11:33:17
<Kevin L™ 🌵> I like the warbonnet. Looks best in F7 though.
11:34:49
<SantaFe108> If our museum could get a hold of an f or e unit in warbonnet... omg
11:35:27
<SantaFe108> We do have an up e8a so kinda close-ish
11:35:55
<Kevin L™ 🌵> E8 is an F7 on steroids.
11:36:31
<Kevin L™ 🌵> UP 844 gets a lot of railfans for us.
11:37:07
<SantaFe108> As it should
11:37:56
<SantaFe108> I forgot, which is your museum? You told me earlier
11:38:27
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Nevada State Railroad Musuem in Boulder City
11:38:56
<SantaFe108> Nice
11:39:20
<SantaFe108> Down here is Southern California Railway Museum in Perris
11:39:47
<SantaFe108> Used to be Orange Empire Railroad Museum
11:40:58
<Kevin L™ 🌵> One of my bucket list places. Love the PE. My Son and I were talking about checking it out when they do the flat track motorcycle races.
11:42:11
<SantaFe108> It's around $150 to run on the electric lines per hour if you want to operate
11:43:09
<Kevin L™ 🌵> That could be fun. It is $250 an hour for the 844 (and others) here.
11:44:03
<ynpvisitor52> 1135 mugwump https://youtu.be/3jHycu12DU4
11:45:50
<SantaFe108> That's alot cheaper then our prices lol
11:58:23
<KorbenC> can someone make a getvideo for the OF for me? I need lunch
11:59:04
<Forestbewithyou> I can

13:43:57
<SantaFe108> Hi linda
13:45:19
<LindaG> Hi SantaFe108, KorbenC, Kevin L™ 🌵,
13:45:53
<LindaG> Just spent 4 hrs researching and signing up for Medicare. What a drag
13:46:23
<LindaG> Guess Im officially old
13:47:15
<Kevin L™ 🌵> I started with that October 28th and I am still not sure it is all working. :P :P :P :P :P :P :P
13:48:00
<Kevin L™ 🌵> If there was something that could go wrong it did. If it couldn't possibly go wrong, it did anyway.
13:48:32
<LindaG> 😄 it's crazy. It was really the drug plan that was cumbersome. Eventually gotta close your eyes and pick one. Lol
13:50:04
<LindaG> Alright I didnt hear any 'oh no Linda, you are not old' 😝
13:51:11
<Kevin L™ 🌵> In turtle years you are young.
13:51:27
<LindaG> 🙂
13:51:54
<Kevin L™ 🌵> We won't mention dog years....
13:53:16
<ynpvisitor5> You look younger than ever, Linda 🤓
13:54:30

13:57:54
<SantaFe108> Height estimates ranged from 385' to 420'
13:57:55
<Betty on train> Not too bad. It was your first?
13:58:03
<SantaFe108> Yes it was my first
13:58:20
<Betty on train> Cool
13:58:28
<SantaFe108> I was at middle deck

<KorbenC> Kevin L™ 🌵, about time
14:05:01
<SantaFe108> Korben you going to get rained in?
14:05:15
<Kevin L™ 🌵> There was another package with it. At 9:36pm they delivered the other package and took my Hawaii package back to the post office.
14:05:18
<KorbenC> SF, no, but I may go storm spotting
14:06:29
<SantaFe108> Wish there were storms in socal :p
14:06:50
<KorbenC> wait, I thought you were from Santa Fe :p
14:07:15
<SantaFe108> My username is Santa Fe locomotive 108
14:07:34
<KorbenC> ah, Kevin has another train lover
14:08:42
<SantaFe108> Lol we were talking about the chief earlier today
14:08:53
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Santa Fe 108 is an FP45 in warbonnet paint.
14:09:08
<KorbenC> Kevin L™ 🌵, I looked it up :)
14:09:47
<Kevin L™ 🌵> I knew he was one of us when the user name showed up.
14:11:35
<SantaFe108> Death valley np says they aren't getting below 95° F at night and sometimes it's only 100○
14:11:49
<SantaFe108> °*
14:12:17
<LindaG> Well I learning I k ow a warbonnet is 😁
14:12:27
<LindaG> *know
14:13:53
<SantaFe108> One of the best styles of any locomotive
14:13:59
<Kevin L™ 🌵> One of the best paint schemes on a train ever.
14:14:08
<LindaG> The fp45 Santa fe is attractive
14:14:31
<LindaG> I like it! 🙂
14:15:17
<Kevin L™ 🌵> I have it in N scale along with a full Southwest Chief passenger consist.
14:16:15
<SantaFe108> Theres a sf fp45 in ho from athearn
14:16:32
<ynpvisitor102> Tunnel kicked me out :-p
14:16:45
<SantaFe108> I believe its number 107, maybe I can renumber it to 108
14:17:14
<Kevin L™ 🌵> That would be a good project.
14:18:16
<Kevin L™ 🌵> I have a Kenefick Business car that I am going to turn into the Cheyenne. I got to ride in the Cheyenne through Feather River Canyon pulled by steam!
14:18:29
<SantaFe108> Wow lucky
14:18:41
<ynpvisitor102> LC is ie
14:18:58
<SantaFe108> My grandpa has tons of NYC ho scale when he was in a model club
14:19:06
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Any one of the three is awesome but put them together and you are in train heaven.
14:19:57
<SantaFe108> My great great grandpa was an engineer for NYC in the steam era
14:21:27
<SantaFe108> My grandpa has his documents from the 1880's
14:21:33
<Kevin L™ 🌵> I am the one on with the camera in the yellow shirt on the left at 2:18. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L25CrwWEbr0
14:23:13
<SantaFe108> Wow what a scenic place to catch it
14:24:48
<Kevin L™ 🌵> We rode from Sacramento to Portola.
14:27:21
<SantaFe108> Amazing
14:28:08
<SantaFe108> Haven't been on a steamer in a while, last time was Ghost Town & Calico Railroad at Knott's Berry Farm
14:29:15
<SantaFe108> 3 ft narrow gauge being hauled by RGS 41
14:30:11
<Kevin L™ 🌵> It was a great trip. The business car has sofas and chairs along with a kitchen and dining room. There were 10 of s and we had a waiter and a cook.
14:31:46
<SantaFe108> Wow full service excursion
14:33:14
<Kevin L™ 🌵> It was the same car they had on the Big Boy at the end for the LA to Barstow ride. Tickets for that ride were $15,000 a person.
14:33:50
<SantaFe108> Expensive, but that's once in a lifetime stuff
14:34:47
<Kevin L™ 🌵> For sure. Mine was free. I knew the executive in charge of the area.
14:35:02
<SantaFe108> Smooth
14:36:09
<Kevin L™ 🌵> I remember asking the waiter for a coke. "Is that a regular coke, a diet coke, or perhaps a pepsi sir?"
14:37:49
<SantaFe108> Both sodas? They got everything covered
14:42:47
<Kevin L™ 🌵> The food was awesome. Chicken breast for lunch and New York steak for dinner served on railroad china and crystal stemware.
14:45:58
<SantaFe108> I remember the railroad China at cal state railroad museum
14:46:14
<SantaFe108> They had a fully decked Santa fe aluminum diner
14:47:55
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Nice. We did Operation Lifesaver presentations in the Silver Lariat which is a stainless steel dome diner.
14:52:42
<ynpvisitor103> China has railroads?
14:53:01
<LindaG> Kevin L™ 🌵, west cable trains is pulling an engine, heritage?
14:55:42
<SantaFe108> Some day I want to ride Alaska Railroad in Goldstar with the dome car
15:00:35
<SantaFe108> Hello forest
15:00:50
<Forestbewithyou> hello
15:01:52
<Kat> Forestbewithyou, Hi, my 3 Sandhills were back today!
15:02:07

15:15:09
<KorbenC> bbl
15:24:11
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Wish we had Turban times
15:25:03
<ynpvisitor82> No one seems to post them anymore :(
15:31:37
<SantaFe108> I have yesterday's 1300 to 1500 in my notebook
15:31:43
<SantaFe108> For turbab
15:31:46
<SantaFe108> n*
15:32:28
<ynpvisitor11> Lion trying
15:32:50
<SantaFe108> Joe hasn't updated his grand code yet for 1523
15:33:12
<SantaFe108> Yesterday
15:34:41
<ynpvisitor82> !%23 yesterday says Grand code 1
15:35:07
<ynpvisitor82> 1523
15:36:07
<Forestbewithyou> but not with Grand initiated or if turban and vent quit
15:36:14
<Forestbewithyou> stuff like that
15:36:17
<SantaFe108> I commented what I observed from 1230
15:36:20
<Forestbewithyou> I am assuming
15:36:25
<SantaFe108> D5/G1Q
15:36:52
<Forestbewithyou> well if you make an inbasin report it will have higher priority than the wc observation
15:36:57
<ynpvisitor82> From the camera you can only guess
15:37:20
<Forestbewithyou> if you were in the park SantaFe108, you can make an inbasin report
15:37:34
<KorbenC> just had a nice round of storm spotting, .5 inches of rain, 67 mph wind speeds, 0.75 inch hail, and amazing lightning
15:37:39
<Forestbewithyou> cool
15:37:43
<SantaFe108> nice
15:38:05
<SantaFe108> how would I make one? Just specify in the comment I was there?
15:38:23
<Forestbewithyou> no you would enter it as an eruption
15:38:27
<SantaFe108> Oh ok
15:38:38
<Forestbewithyou> like you are logging any other kind of geyser and add the grand code there
15:38:55
<Forestbewithyou> it should take higher priority
15:39:30
<KorbenC> SF, you having a problem with GT?
15:39:41
<KorbenC> Forestbewithyou, how was your final test?
15:40:00
<Forestbewithyou> I will tell you in pm's korben
15:40:14
<ynpvisitor82> Sfe
15:40:23
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Wow. My Hawaii package finally showed up!
15:40:45
<ynpvisitor82> SFe which were you in basin for yesterday
15:40:49
<KorbenC> WFO Pueblo has been notified that hte storm is still quite severe :)
15:41:46
<SantaFe108> Yes
15:41:51
<SantaFe108> ynpvisitor82,
15:42:38
<SantaFe108> My entry didn't take priority, it became a different entry
15:43:23
<ynpvisitor82> SantaFe108, it is primary now
15:43:32
<SantaFe108> Ok thanks
15:44:06
<LindaG> #82 has the power 😁
15:44:51
<ynpvisitor82> But you threw today's prediction off when you mistakenly entered 1523 today
15:45:52
<Forestbewithyou> why is the other still listed seperatly then
15:46:28
<SantaFe108> Can the prediction be fixed?
15:46:48
<ynpvisitor82> No but once entered Gt updates and does not correct when mistake is removed
15:47:11
<Forestbewithyou> well thankfully grand should be sometimes soon
15:47:28
<SantaFe108> Sorry about that
15:47:39
<ynpvisitor82> yes then the predict will be good :)
15:47:55
<Forestbewithyou> don't sweat it
15:47:57
<Forestbewithyou> SF
15:48:13
<ynpvisitor82> SantaFe108, no big deal we all have done it :)
15:48:14
<Forestbewithyou> There is a NPS prediction they can use
15:48:29
<SantaFe108> Beginners mistake i suppose
15:48:46
<Kevin L™ 🌵> And the Earth will keep spinning.
15:49:01
<ynpvisitor82> Nope all of us do it from time to time :)

16:51:30
<LindaG> Wow
16:54:02
<Benton Harbor> Yes. It closed I-15 for quite a while. Fires are pretty common in that area.

<GO STEAMBOAT> the 1700 one is missing from GT too
17:26:32
<KorbenC> And I have started my favorite count down, 1 hour until the 1st hurricane advisory of hte season is prepared. T-1 Hour till Korben's summer is a success, haha.
17:27:03
<GO STEAMBOAT> huricanes are bad tho
17:27:05
<KorbenC> I already saw SB, and Beehive this year, so those are 2 things down, 1 hurricane is left :P and I will never forgive Chirstina.
17:27:59
<KorbenC> as long as it does not hit anything as a Hurricane, I want them if they are a hurricane that will end up hitting land as a hurricane, I dont like them
17:29:49
<GO STEAMBOAT> having seen aftermath of Katrina and Sandy, I dont like them
17:30:18
<LindaG> Amen to that
17:30:37
<KorbenC> I hate any hurricanes that hit land. A hurricane right in te smack middle of the Pacific is better than one hitting Florida, which is why I like hurricanes that dont hit land :)
17:31:24
<KorbenC> Lion
17:31:45
<GO STEAMBOAT> i remember driving to NYC the Friday after Sandy ... seeing the rows and rows of utility trucks heading up I-95 to NJ and NY
17:32:29
<GO STEAMBOAT> good to see all the help coming, but not that it was needed. didnt see too much impact in midtown Manhatten tho
17:33:06
<LindaG> We were inundated with utility trucks it was amazing
17:33:09
<KorbenC> That is the stuff I hate too see, I love hurricanes in the middle of nowhere though :)
17:33:55
<GO STEAMBOAT> i headed into NY for opera weekend ....... decided to go as the hotel was open and the opera was still on
17:34:17
<Benton Harbor> Surprising
17:34:45
<GO STEAMBOAT> LC
17:35:13
<GO STEAMBOAT> opera is the only reason I go to NY ... not going there for a while now
17:35:19
<GO STEAMBOAT> they wont let me in anyway
17:35:32
<LindaG> Had a lot of friends whose first floor flooded
17:36:04
<KorbenC> some huge spike on YFT, enough to scale back the line to the point where it is barely visible
17:36:04
<GO STEAMBOAT> yeah i bet. after Katrina it was amazing, the first two or more beachfront blocks were wiped out, gone
17:37:23
<Benton Harbor> Losing you house is bad. Losing your lot is terrible.
17:37:39
<LindaG> A lot boats in places they shouldnt be
17:38:03
<GO STEAMBOAT> actually the roadway protected the lots ...... all the houses and trees washed away, just slabs left.
17:38:51
<LindaG> Yeah Jersey wasnt quite that bad
17:38:56
<GO STEAMBOAT> ten the fist sign of regrowth was the Waffle Houses that sprouted up every 2 mies
17:38:57
<Benton Harbor> I had a friend who lost his house and lot to a flood in Santa Clara Utah.
17:39:35
<LindaG> They really are still rebuilding
17:39:57
<LindaG> Alot of houses being raised up
17:40:27
<LindaG> a quick 50 or 60k
17:40:43
<GO STEAMBOAT> just let the water flood through
17:43:50
<LindaG> Dinner bell
17:45:06
<KorbenC> next Lion 18:50 using Jarno's method l 6m 56s
17:45:32
<KorbenC> +/- 5 minutes with his window
17:46:51
<KorbenC> Dwarfs ie
17:52:13
<SantaFe108> lol pump stopped bursting when people started looking at it
18:01:43
<KorbenC> Hey kc
18:01:53
<kcmule> hola
18:18:20
<KorbenC> HI Kevin, did it loose your usename?
18:18:46
<Benton Harbor> Changed iPad
18:19:56
<albee> They have their doggies on the boardwalk
18:20:18
<Benton Harbor> Couple of idiots
18:20:57
<kcmule> wow crazy
18:21:32
<ynpvisitor30> clearly they are special
18:31:22
<SantaFe108> yesterday someone's dog freaked out at grand and ran off the boardwalk before owner could pull the leash
18:31:47
<SantaFe108> grabbed it right before it walked into the overflowing runoff
18:32:14
<KorbenC> that happened at Aurum, dog almost ended up walking right over the cone, got scared by a bird behind it
18:33:27
<SantaFe108> People need to board there dogs or dont go
18:33:42
<SantaFe108> Their*
18:34:00
<KorbenC> yup
18:34:03
<ynpvisitor61> Ever figure out who was on the radio calling sprinklers and little cubs?
18:35:03
<KorbenC> 61, that was SantaFe108 hahaha
18:35:36
<SantaFe108> apologies, it was my first time
18:35:47
<SantaFe108> Dont worry I got an earful from craig
18:35:55
<KorbenC> but you wont be doing that again :P
18:36:05
<SantaFe108> Promise
18:36:27
<ynpvisitor61> You met Craig?
18:36:38
<KorbenC> Hi Craig
18:36:41
<albee> we have witnessed bison tossing and gouging a dog nd a griz kill one, while the owners watched in horror.
18:37:20
<KorbenC> albee, tahts why you dont take your dogs anywhere that dangerous, but if that happened to my dog, the bear would be the one regreting it, lol
18:37:48
<SantaFe108> Dont want another Bear Event like this morning lol
18:38:04
<albee> ?
18:38:15
<KorbenC> This mornings bear event happens all the time in YNP, I think all of us have seen bears on the BW.
18:38:24
<ynpvisitor61> It was a non event
18:38:31
<albee> ok
18:38:36
<KorbenC> or hsould I say "event"
18:38:51
<ynpvisitor61> I spent the next hour trying to find it
18:38:52
<KorbenC> I have a picture somewhere of a bear wandering up behind Daisy ie
18:39:09
<KorbenC> wait SF, you did meet Craig?
18:39:24
<SantaFe108> No but I'm sure I talked to him without realizing
18:39:37
<SantaFe108> I met multiple gazers
18:39:48
<SantaFe108> And Dave L at SB
18:39:56
<ynpvisitor61> You'd know it if you talked to Craig
18:40:30
<KorbenC> Well I would say Craig introduces himself, he (totaly not 61) and the person he was with (CB I think??) made me play the guessing game :P
18:40:43
<KorbenC> wouldn't say Craig**
18:40:54
<SantaFe108> I didnt bump in to cb yesterday sadly
18:41:25
<KorbenC> I still dont know how thats possible, I bumped into her at my SB this year and I had no idea who she was, I jsut guessed, lol
18:41:29
<SantaFe108> I met a couple and the lady was in an electric scooter, we recorded the turban cycle
18:41:56
<KorbenC> remember, not everyone you meet in YNP is a gazer :)
18:42:20
<SantaFe108> They were calling on radio
18:42:32
<KorbenC> OK, they are probably a gazer :)
18:44:09
<SantaFe108> I also saw a group of 3 that I saw at SB the day before
18:44:47
<KorbenC> Dep full
18:45:13
<KorbenC> How was Giant looking and F&M SF?
18:45:44
<SantaFe108> F&M was silent
18:45:58
<KorbenC> how long did you wait?
18:46:19
<SantaFe108> Not very long so dont take my word for it
18:46:42
<KorbenC> was there ANY splashing? or audible huffing?
18:47:13
<SantaFe108> I dont remember
18:47:23
<SantaFe108> On Saturday there was splashing at Fan
18:47:50
<KorbenC> when you were there and Fan vents were quiet, was a small vent next to Mortar doing anything?
18:48:05
<SantaFe108> Not that I saw
18:48:15
<KorbenC> OK
18:48:33
<SantaFe108> Heard from multiple gazers Giantess had a big blue bubble form for a bit
18:49:32
<KorbenC> did they give a height?
18:49:54
<SantaFe108> No just that a bubble formed
18:50:38
<Forestbewithyou> hmm thats interesting
18:58:51
<LindaG> Huh my little town installed a couple of electric car charging stations, moving with the times

20:00:46
<SantaFe108> Did see some four axle diesels with local freight
