Spent 10 hours at Norris. It's early, but worth checking out since it has had a couple of short intervals. The prognosis was \"good but not great\". It wouldn't surprise me if it went during the night, or took the better part of a week.<\/p>\n
At around 15:00, we could smell smoke, and by the time we left two hours later, it was almost overpowering.<\/p>\n
Shortly after arriving, we learned that Giant had had a nice strong hot period in the morning. We arrived back in time to head down at around the 11 hour mark. Didn't have long to wait before a moderately strong one occurred. There was plenty of Mastiff overflow during the 8min eruption of Feather, and a quick restart (1m09s pause) that lasted 4m19s and had about 15 seconds of what looked like Giant surging from a high water level. Like New Crater\/Steamboat, I could see Giant erupting tomorrow or next week.<\/p>\n
After that, got sucked into waiting at Fan & Mortar. Not sure if we saw a Gold Pause, or two very weak cycles. Sometimes I wonder if we are all watching the wrong things, and that a lot of \"event cycles\" are just weak cycles that have Main Vent acting up. Sometimes hard to tell the difference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
