[Geysers] Even more on Morning report

[carolyn loren]

Russell (the coach driver) also told us that Fountain appeared empty when 
they arrived, and that they heard a loud popping noise while by Clepsydra, 
and the big eruption started.  The eruption (behind Fountain) was over 50 
feet high (beyond flashlight range at times), and 50-75 feet wide.  A 
thumping accompanied the eruption throughout its duration.  The sky that 
night was 80% cloud cover; there was a crescent moon.

The eruption started at 1927 and ended at 1954 (on March 2).  It consisted 
of a burst, pause, another burst, similar to a Grand eruptioin.  Jet erupted 
at 1946 (d=3), Twig did not erupt, and Clepsydra was in eruption throuighout 
and for at least 10 minutes afterward when they had to leave.  The big 
erutpion's spray made the boardwalk wet.

Russell's information came from notes he took at the time.
