No subject

repeat, but no luck.  The clouds and intermittent rain changed to
sunshine and clear blue skies.  It was not a breeze today, it was
wind.  That won't do the fires any good.

Back to OF for an earlier than expected Beehive, and a sunny, blue sky Grand.

I have not heard recent reports of Plume, a favorite of mine.

Beehive: 1211
Beehive's Indicator: we were about 12 minutes in when I arrived at the

good viewpoint from the bike path in front of the Inn before Beehive
started.

The latest National Park quarter is out--Hawaii Volcanoes.

The West entrance road is fast becoming "elk central".

The supposed Golden Eagle seen repeatedly a couple of weeks ago along
the Madison was apparently  a well-fed immature Bald Eagle (per local
bird watchers who observed it).  That might explain it's not so
sensible behavior--an overgrown teenager!

I hear temps predicted in the AM as low as 16 degrees.  We'll see (and feel).
