[Geysers] Black Diamond area

[Stephen Eide]

Hello all,

I have a correction to make also, I said I though the little spring
just over the bridge between the river and Black Opal had more
overflow.  Looking at it again I think it I was wrong, it is about the
same as I saw it four weeks ago.  But Bill got to see Black Diamond.
