But if not, here's what I know second-hand.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>As noted yesterday, Giant acted as if there had been a Grotto marathon although there hadn't been one. Even Grotto seemed to think that, erupting after a long (>9 hour -- it was on yesterday morning at 0730, turned off at about 0810) interval and then having a duration of only about 50 minutes. In the evening, Giant finally began having hot periods. They were evidently of short duration, but at least one did involved Feather and Satellite continuing after Bijou came on as well as some good surging in Giant itself.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anyhow, the Giant was normal function. Today I got permission to replace the sign logs onto the platform. I found the "Giant Geyser" log about 1/3 of the way from the platform toward the river; the "Danger..." sign had only rolled off the platform.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So, the latest eruption chart is attached.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Other observations from today -- down basin, everything went in a short span:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Grand was 0830ie, as seen from the parking lot by Bryan, Hoppes and Scharfs (the latter two couples of which departed today, having missed Giant).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Daisy was 0909ie.</DIV> <DIV>Grotto Fountain was 0939, Grotto at 0943.</DIV> <DIV>Oblong went at 0948.</DIV> <DIV>Riverside went at 1000.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I saw Tilt's Baby at 0849 and 1004ie.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Plume produced intervals of 72 and 61 minutes.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Aurum was at 0806. Given the mysterious removal of the railing there, either it is going to be replaced _or_ possibly the boardwalk will be rerouted around the back side of Aurum.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
