Dave asked if there had been similar North Goggles activity in the past so I
looked at the data on the GOSA site that Lynn Stephens, Mary Beth Schwarz
and Marion Powell have compiled covering 2010-1992, 1981, 1979-1975, and
1973-1970 (http://gosa.org/ofvclogs.aspx). Thank you to everyone that
reported the times, to Lynn, Mary Beth, and Marion for compiling the data,
and to GOSA for hosting it on the web site.
The two best series were 11 eruptions on 29-30 June 2000 and 9 eruptions on
22 July 1994. Other years had up to 5 eruptions reported on a single day
with mostly single eruptions reported. All but one eruption logged in these
two days were between Lion series (if we assume the Lion reports are
complete). All the Lion and North Goggles eruptions for these days are
shown below.

On 6/30/2000 there are some long intervals which could be gaps in
observation (especially after 0223) so there may have been extra eruptions
not logged. Both of these events were in the summer when people would have
been around though, so the record might be complete.
No Giantess eruptions on either day. Interestingly, on both days there was
a series of false indicators. In 1994 there was also a Ledge eruption that
day and an Aurum afterburst reported!
