<div>Hello,</div>
<div>I visited Yellowstone this past weekend with my girlfriend
Diana for my first ever Old Faithful opening weekend and was
able to witness a major eruption of North Goggles that was
accompanied by a bursting eruption of Goggles Spring.</div>

<div>I've posted a video here: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<div>The eruption started within 2 minutes of Lion Geyser
finishing its (at least) 18th eruption in a series. Both
North Goggles and Goggles were boiling continuously about 2
inches below overflow and North Goggles was rising into 4-6
inch boils (sometimes a foot!) every 30 seconds or so when we
arrived just minutes before Lion's eruption at 1945. North
Goggles certainly looked ready to erupt. This activity
continued during Lion's eruption and afterwards until one of
the bigger boils built into the eruption. The setting sun
came out from behind the clouds on the horizon and cast a
beautiful light on this spectacular eruption and we were the
only ones there to enjoy it! I feel very lucky to have been
there for what will surely be a much sought-after event for
all gazers this season!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I know very little about The Goggles, but I know Goggles
Spring eruptions are rare. I seem to recall talk of Goggles
Spring once erupting over the boardwalk, which it didn't do
this time, but you can see in the video that it was "belching"
water to 5 feet or so from somewhere down inside the cone.
Graham Meech has commented that Goggles Spring may have been
active during a previous North Goggles major this spring as
seen on the webcam so I suspect this event might be becoming a
little more common.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Lion had another major eruption an hour later at 2047 on
its first roar and it didn't struggle one bit to erupt as it
sometimes can do. The Goggles had been rumbling at depth for
at least 10 minutes after their eruption, but were quiet now
and had almost no steam. I don't know if that was the end of
the Lion series or not, but I left feeling satisfied.</div>
