Minimal water in Giant's cone and Bijou pretty much dead.   -Paul - I saw the cloud you were talking about this morning.  Could it have been Oblong - or just Grotto tricking the eye??  I think there was too much water still in Giant for this Marathon to have been a result of an eruption this morning (followed by someone replacing the signs) - but I may be wrong since I am no expert on Giant.  If Mike wasn't down today, I don't know who would be around to replace the signs.   Take care all!!   -Matthew <hr />i'm making a difference.
