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.
