<DIV>Black Diamond eruption,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>While there yesterday, the water level appears to had dropped about 1/2
meter judging by the obvious runoff in the grass. It appears that Black
Diamond may have filled Black Opal with debris. The runoff of this
eruption(s) does not appear to have reached Salt and Pepper. By mid day,
Salt and Pepper have cleared some, with the vent further from the river,
erupting more vigorously than normal, shooting about 4 feet consistently.
We will be in again today, and we will make sure to stop by Biscuit
again.</DIV>
