No doubt this has already been reported to the list, but in cqase not. I was on a tour, actually in the Inn parking lot facing down basin telling my people about the layout of the area. I had just mentioned that Castle and Grand had both erupted earlier so we wouldn't see either of them. And then, as I was about to drive up toward the front of the Inn, I saw simultaneously with Herb Simon's call, the start of Giant -- with my 7 passengers who had never been to Yellowstone before. (Turns out that two of them did go down there.)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I have few details but apparently the hot period leading to the earuption was not teribly impressive. Mastiff dropped beforehand. Cave was evidently never more than 1 foot high and, if I understood, Feather was on but not Feather Satellite (?).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Cool.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
