[Geysers] Giant Erupts

[Pat Snyder]

Hello Everyone.
Just got back from a week in Yellowstone today and I was fortunate to  
see about 3/4 of the 5/31/06 Giant eruption.

Mike Frazier did great job of calling the hot period and Giant start-- 
it was difficult because of all the steam.

I ran/walked the asphalt trail instead of the very icy "jugwalk" and  
found the view across the treeless area to be superb (from near the  
Daisy trail):

I will put a series of photos together for the Sput next week. Right  
now, I am still unpacking!
