Guide Cythia Knapp and her visitors saw Black Diamond erupt reportedly to 80-100 feet near 1220 today. She was in the parking lot at Biscuit when her folks asked "is that normal?" She turned around just in time. <BR>
<BR>
The eruption was black in color, ejected rocks, and Pepper erupted black afterwards. The duration was very brief.<BR>
<BR>
Guides reported yesterday 3/11 that the area was murky, but had been clear and turquoise in color the day before, but no one witnessed an eruption. I was skiing in the basin yesterday and saw the muddy runoff. I'll attach smartphone photos in a separate email.<BR>
