A couple of points and questions here.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>1. That "Wall Pool" sign has been incorrectly placed above Black Diamond for quite some time now. I long-ago pointed out the error to interpreter-signman Sam Holbrook, and he said he was not authorized to simply move it to a correct place without authority from a "higher-up."</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>2. The photo posted by Peggy Treat (taken in  mid-September) shows Black Opal Pool.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>3. Do observers feel (if there is any opinion at all) that the muddiness in "Salt & Pepper" is due to a change in the spring(s) itself, or because of debris freshly washed into the crater(s)?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>4. Is there any evidence of eruptions in either Black Opal or in any of the vents in and about Wall?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks again to all.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
