Black Sand Pool: I didn't know to mention its clarity. Apparently it was quite turbid in September, but is not now. The thumping has been strong enough to shake frost from nearby trees, and is a big favorite thing to do this winter. We're checking Fan & Mortar most days, no change I'm afraid. Oh! And feel free to look hard for Old Faithful in the mornings. Our Star Dot program doesn't take many pictures early on cold mornings, and we've been tied to the window looking for pre-play the last couple days. It's tough with the fog, I know. We're checking geysertimes.org and post when we have time. Carolyn Loren -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
