[Geysers] Black Diamond

[carolyn loren]

A winter guide, Rowan, noticed black, muddy water flowing into the Firehole by the Biscuit bridge, went to investigate, and found visitors that saw Black Diamond erupt.  I spoke with them this morning, and what they saw was from the back boardwalk at Biscuit, and was they think near the end of the eruption.  They were impressed by the very dark muddy water, which they estimated at 20 feet tall.  The time was about 1305 on 12/26.  That same day we got a Lone Pine report at 1145 VR, a Skinny Man sometime that day, Artemisia at 145 VR, and Oblong at 1430 VR.  We even saw a glimpse of Beehive behind the Old Faithful eruption at 1052 n.s. as I recall, so we're hoping for some daytime eruptions.

I can't remember if I've mentioned that Will Yavorsky at Grant reported the mid-area West Thumb pools including Ledge and Percolating all being way down just before opening day.  No changes have been seen at Black Pool or Abyss (so far).
