Carl Sheehan (the potter in the OF Lodge) told me that he heard the roar from inside the Inn's Employee Dining Room. An eruption of Giantess always gets a 10 for being Giantess. As for the eruptions, that in May garnered a 3 (maybe), but this one I'll give a 7+.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV> <DIV>who :-) was with a tour and arrived while Giantess was still in its initial surging.
