This looks to have been the last nice weather day for a while.
Fingers crossed for the Memorial Day weekend crowd.  A good dose of
precipitation may spare us a bit in the upcoming fire season, which
looks dismal at this point.

Shooting stars are beginning on the sawmill to lion trail.
I missed the eclipse last night but I hear there were some nice photos
taken with Old Faithful and Lion.  Hope to see them.

Seen at Artemisia:
A bicyclist headed for Biscuit who stated he was told by a ranger ("he
had a badge") that he could walk his bike over the trail.  Regardless,
the cyclist was riding.
The bubbling seep on the trail near Biscuit is putting out a good bit
of water.  You have to circle above it now, where it was possible to
walk below it last fall.  It does have 3 logs surrounding it.
Avoca is reported to be doing some nice bursts.
