<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Giant Geyser erupted midday today, Mon., Oct.
22. I feel dumb because I missed it by minutes. My report is
fragmentary. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I called the Visitors' Center this morning, and
they had had a report of Grotto i.e. last night at 2215, but no news yet this
morning. I drove in and met Rebecca and two other guys at around 1150 at
Castle. They said Grotto had turned on at 1113 for a few minutes.
Giant had a modest hot period at 1130. Grand was expected around 1300,
so I went on over and saw that Rift was erupting and Grand's pool very
low. The jugwalk was very treacherous and slick with ice, so at
1210 I for some dumb reason decided to drive over and check out Black
Diamond at Biscuit, which visitors had reported seeing a week ago
Monday. At 1219 at Castle I looked down the valley and saw nothing
unusual. Shortly before 1300 I turned around from Black Diamond and saw
a large steam cloud in the Upper Basin from Biscuit and KNEW it must be
Giant. By 1310 I was back at Castle and asked two persons returning from
the bridge if they had seen Giant start. One said yes, at about
1215. I asked if he was sure, and the other said well that was about
when Giant was going up to the top of its cone and actually the big eruption
started at about 1220. Again, this is a visitor report, but if true, I
missed the Giant start by ONE MINUTE!~ No other gazers were there as far
as I know.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I called Tara, who said Pat Snyder had seen it
around 1232 on the webcam.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Another day, another story.</FONT></DIV>
