[Geysers] Geyser report September 28

[TSBryan at aol.com]

I haven't been online yet, so probably last night's GIANT (at 2250) has  
already been reported. But if not, here's what I know second-hand.
 
As noted yesterday, Giant acted as if there had been a Grotto marathon  
although there hadn't been one. Even Grotto seemed to think that, erupting after  a 
long (>9 hour -- it was on yesterday morning at 0730, turned off at about  
0810) interval and then having a duration of only about 50 minutes. In the  
evening, Giant finally began having hot periods. They were evidently of short  
duration, but at least one did involved Feather and Satellite continuing after  
Bijou came on as well as some good surging in Giant itself.
 
Anyhow, the Giant was normal function. Today I got permission to replace  the 
sign logs onto the platform. I found the "Giant Geyser" log about 1/3  of the 
way from the platform toward the river; the "Danger..." sign had only  rolled 
off the platform.
 
So, the latest eruption chart is attached.
 
Other observations from today -- down basin, everything went in a short  span:
 
Grand was 0830ie, as seen from the parking lot by Bryan, Hoppes and Scharfs  
(the latter two couples of which departed today, having missed Giant).
 
Daisy was 0909ie.
Grotto Fountain was 0939, Grotto at 0943.
Oblong went at 0948.
Riverside went at 1000.
 
I saw Tilt's Baby at 0849 and 1004ie.
 
Plume produced intervals of 72 and 61 minutes.
 
Aurum was at 0806. Given the mysterious removal of the railing there,  either 
it is going to be replaced _or_ possibly the boardwalk will be rerouted  
around the back side of Aurum.
