[Geysers] RE: Lone Star

[Eric Hatfield]

One way to think of it is that lone star erupts almost 1/3 of the time. The longest you could wait to see the entire cycle is a little over 3 hours. During that time you'll see 1 or 2 minors and a major. Pretty good use of time, as far as geyser gazing goes. The longest period if pure quiet is about 90 minutes.
