[Geysers] Giant eruptions

[Mike Keller]

I looked at it a few times in March and early April and it was in pure junk
mode.  Angle vent was on most of the time, with or without the rest of the
vents.  There was no hint of any real sort of organized cycle taking place.
Most times River would be on for 8-15 minutes, then off for about the same
time.  Gold would come on within seconds of River and then go into steam
about 2-3 minutes later.  There were some "Bottom" Vent cycles taking place
with some splashing from Main Vent, but nothing that ever hinted that F&M
were serious about erupting.

I know it hadn't gone since August 2005, but had
anyone spent any time at F&M in May to see what it was
up to?  I was thinking about asking that question a
week ago(just to know if it was in garbage mode or had
some semblence of order to its cycles... or if it was
even having cycles...).  Of course the geyser beat me
to it.  I'm not bitter.  But if anyone did spend a few
hours there in between Giant eruptions, I'd be
interested in hearing about your observations. 

Thanks!
