[Geysers] Giant chart April 29 08

[TSBryan at aol.com]

I will leave it to those who saw the Giant eruption of April 29, 2008 to  
more fully describe the events. Suffice to say here that, as I noted in my  
report for yesterday, most of us left the area when Grotto had passed the 4 1/2  
hour mark of what appeared to be (and if fact, was) a marathon. Those who stayed 
 around were at Grand, not Giant, because Grotto was still going at almost 5 
1/2  hours. There was, however, a hot period shortly before 1500 that (from 
afar)  appeared to by quite short and weak. Yet Giant erupted after Bijou had  
restarted. The best guess is that the eruption began on a Feather restart.
 
>From the previous known eruption on April 16, this is a (presumed) double  
interval of about 13d 04h 23m.
 
Attached is one of my charts, covering the span from 5/01/07 through  
4/29/08. Do note that beginning with about December 1, 2007, this involves  
considerable guesswork and inferences of double and even one presumably-triple  
interval (the 11 1/2 day interval is known to NOT be a double interval). But at  
least it gives some idea and makes it appear that Giant is going along quite  
well, basically the same as in 2007.
