[Geysers] Opal Pool activity

[SeeMontana at aol.com]

Hello. I will try to post photos of the Opal Pool eruptions in a day or  
two. I observed multiple eruptions today, the first time to see Opal erupting  
after more than 30 years in Yellowstone.
 
Two notes regarding the eruptions:
 
1. Very muddy color, grey/ dark color. Multiple eruptions in a few minutes  
up to 30 feet. The deposits on the boardwalk were white.
 
2. I have smelled many pools in Yellowstone but I have never smelled such  
an odd scent that Opal was putting out today- not sinter, not calcium or 
silica,  nothing like smells in other thermal areas.

For  folks who haven't noticed it today - Opal Pool in the Excelsior Group 
is  having eruptions (see geysertimes.org for details).  


If anyone has been lucky enough to get photos and/or video clips, could  
they be posted somewhere & the rest of us notified where to go see?  I'm dying 
of curiosity!
