<DIV>Thanks for this helpful information, Lynn. </DIV>

<DIV>Just a quick question--has Vault ever drained before Giantess Geyser
started erupting (thus being somewhat of an indicator of an impending Giantess
eruption)? Or is it most always simultaneous or shortly after the
start? </DIV>

<DIV class=hmmessage style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">Just a note
about water levels in Vault and Giantess. Vault starts
draining with the start of Giantess. The initial eruption comes from an
"empty" crater. Just before the Vault initial, audible
thumping is heard before you can see the rising water level. The
water level pulsates up and down once it starts coming into view. With
each pulse it seems to rise a little higher. Within a couple
minutes it reaches overflow and then the eruption starts. <SPAN
