We where on the Splendid side waiting for Daisy, until
we had to leave at 9:45. We saw no evidence of soaping
prior to the eruption. Splendid did seem a more
vigorous then when I saw it 2 years ago, and had a
higher water level?

Sort of sorry to hear it didnt go after we left, I
kind of expected it would. Next marathon will be my
guess. We considered trying to stay and extra day or
two. Best I've seen Giant look since August of 97.
