Salt and Pepper.  First the "Pepper" vent is almost inactive.  When you
look at it from across the river the old Pepper vent boils to only a few
inches.  To me it appears the Salt vent is mow somewhat higher.  There is a
clear run off channel from Black Diamond to Salt and Pepper.  It appears it
is only used during an eruption.  Bill said that after the eruption of
Black Diamond Salt and Pepper (Salt only?) was erupting with black sands
but the next day it was clear again.  I suspect it was from washed in
obsidian sand.  There was no evidence I saw of any eruption from Black Opal
or the real Wall pool.  The new vent below Black Opal between Black Opal
and the river appears to have more overflow but the water is clear.
