This is stunning and glorious and we all sat with our mouths hanging open watching it. OK, drooling. Makes me wish gazers had a saying for geysers they've either never seen or missed for extended periods, similar to "Next year in Jerusalem" (said at Passover as a Jewish tradition).<br> <br> One question: With a Mastiff Function, is there not much going on in the platform vents at the time Mastiff takes off? Do you get sort of a normal hot period, and this starts as the platform vents die down or do Feather and friends just not start?<br> Karen Webb<br> <br> </font><br> On 10/4/2012 9:21 PM, Paul Strasser wrote: <blockquote cite="mid:96C25BFA1F4D415B8192A7F367D611DB@grand"> <style></style> <style></style> <style></style> <div class="ecxSection1"> <p class="ecxMsoNormal"><font color="navy" size="2" face="Arial"><span style="color: navy;

I've found the one that lasts about 4:41 seconds (you can *really* hear Rocco in the background) on YT, but it's so steamy you can't quite see water till Giant actually starts, and it's difficult to appreciate the height. Sorry, getting greedy in my old age; I was so sure we'd get a Giant in August or September (or, you know, Giantess...)<br> Thanks,<br> Karen Webb</span></font><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"></span></font></p> </div> </div> <p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;" class="ecxMsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"><br> -----Inline Attachment Follows-----</span></font></p> <div> <p class="ecxMsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">_______________________________________________<br> Geysers mailing list<br> <a href="http://us.mc1844.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=Geysers%40lists.wallawalla.edu" target="_blank">Geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu</a><br> <a href="https://lists.wallawalla.edu/mailman/listinfo/geysers" target="_blank">https://lists.wallawalla.edu/mailman/listinfo/geysers</a></span></font></p> </div> </blockquote> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <p class="ecxMsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"></span></font></p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <p class="ecxMsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></font></p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p class="ecxMsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></font></p> </div> <br> <fieldset class="ecxmimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> <br> <pre>_______________________________________________ Geysers mailing list <a class="ecxmoz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:Geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu">Geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu</a> <a class="ecxmoz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://lists.wallawalla.edu/mailman/listinfo/geysers" target="_blank">https://lists.wallawalla.edu/mailman/listinfo/geysers</a></pre> </blockquote> <br>_______________________________________________ Geysers mailing list Geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu https://lists.wallawalla.edu/mailman/listinfo/geysers</div> </div></body> </html>
