This enigmatic and ephemeral splash mat appears and disappears regularly. Located along the boardwalk at West Thumb, it is difficult to sample because it requires ranger escorts that cannot be organized last-minute - especially when we never know if the mat will be there or not. To date, we have only sampled it once and have yet to do any DNA work with it.
