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.

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.
