<DIV>Looking at the pools for two days in a row and having a little more time to
observe it today, it does appear that Salt and Pepper's murky eruption was due
to debris washing into the geysers. Also judging by the washed grass, this
eruption(s) put out a tremendous amount of water, washing the area up to 1/2
meter higher than the pools, and stretching from the boardwalk to beyond Salt
and Pepper. Sandy, muddy water spots are still visible on the
boardwalk. While we were at Biscuit Basin we had two period of heavy
boiling out of Black Diamond, up to 3 feet high and increasing the runoff in the
channels. I called them on the radio, but I don't believe anyone could hear me
at Beehive. The boils were at 13:56 and 14:01. Bill Warnock saw no runoff
both today and yesterday and I saw runoff both today and yesterday. Bill,
Steve, we should exchange phone numbers in the basin when I'm there again on
Wednesday.</DIV>
