15719 23 Aug 2020 @ 1247 23 Aug 2020 @ 1413 BrianR Overflowed water at various times in buildup to Grotto eruption, but never boiled. Pressure Pool had visible water ~ 95% of this time frame. This and South Grotto Fountain series of eruptions was due to Spa having a flowing runoff channel to the river and all three of its vents bubbling (I.e., it was trying to start at the same time as Grotto). Also Grotto Central Vents were active in this time frame when South Grotto Fountain was not erupting. Demetri will provide notes on Startling during this time frame
13539 04 Sep 2019 @ 1224 --- c.barwin end time
12835 28 Jul 2019 @ 0938 --- rbwhitaker Got over two feet tall then backed down to nothing

11992 27 Jun 2019 @ 1712 27 Jun 2019 @ 2007 BrianR After aborted eruption, the Grotto system went into a stalled pattern. Grotto Fountain was in a continuous boil up to 2 ft ( mostly 1 ft and under) from 17:49 to 19:28, 19:34 to 1943, and 19:51 to 19:58. The “pressure pool” was rising and falling just barely in and out of view from 17:20 to 18:51, then staying always in view until Grotto Fountain finally erupted at 20:09. Grotto was silent except for three one minute grumbles during this time. All Spa vents were off and the pool rose only 3 inches during this time.
11991 27 Jun 2019 @ 1708 27 Jun 2019 @ 1711 BrianR 6 to 10 ft eruption aborted, no Grotto

11264 18 May 2019 @ 1348 --- Mkeller Repeat of what happened at 12:56
11265 18 May 2019 @ 1256 --- Mkeller Erupted to 3-4 feet for about 3 minutes. Grotto tried to start. Central Vents erupted instead.
8982 25 Jun 2018 @ 1559 --- BrianR “Pressure Pool” up at 15:59 through 16:06, 263 minutes after last Grotto. Grotto Fountain water to 3 ft at 16:01, no eruption prior to Grotto
8981 25 Jun 2018 @ 1527 --- BrianR “Pressure Pool” up at 15:27 through 15:31 no Grotto Fountain water. 231 minutes after last Grotto

2533 11 Oct 2015 @ 1223 --- Siegmund Bubbling vigorously 1223; boiling hard 1228-1231, but never got more than ~30cm high
2151 14 Aug 2015 @ 1312 --- JSJ Blipping at 1312 (Grotto & Rocket started at 1314).
1656 28 May 2015 @ 1448 --- mhreed Saw two distinct steam clouds from F&M. By the time I walked up to the Grotto area, Grotto Fountain was at 10 ft. and dying down. Not sure if missed or aborted eruption.
1612 19 May 2015 @ 1347 19 May 2015 @ 1358 JSJ Intermittent small blipping to very low spouting from 1347 to 1358. No more after Grotto Geyser eruption start at 1358.

3879 03 Jul 2006 @ 0700 03 Jul 2006 @ 1545 Tara Grotto Fountain had been having periodic boiling episodes since sometime before 0700. These episodes alternated with eruptions by South Grotto Fountain. There were three stronger episodes at 0711, 1100, and 1400. These occurred midway between hourly Giant hot periods. When Grotto Fountain finally did erupt, it was weak and lasted only 5 minutes, but Grotto did follow at 1548.
