Saturday June 1, 2013

A welcome 22 degrees this AM--clear skies!! Or Relatively so--just a
low bank of clouds on the eastern horizon that shielded the rising sun
from my eyes.  The clean roads we had for a very brief period after
the rains earlier this week have rapidly developed scads of bison
sign.

No cars at Fountain, so I took a pass by Great Fountain.  At 0615 it
was completely over--a quietly steaming hole in the ground with water
in it's runoff channels.

Beehive: 0542
Beehive's Indicator: 0527
Grand: 1220 T1C
W Triplet: 1257ie

Atomizer: at 0835 the last of the post-major puffing stopped
Artemisia: 1131 d=25

Artemisia had the most high bursts I've seen--more than 12-15 at or
above the height of the wall.

The new boardwalk past Scalloped spring is underway.  We have to walk
OFF THE BOARDWALK for a short stretch of sinter where there apparently
once was a boardwalk--the marks remain.  I felt like a truant.  The
underpinnings of the new route look like an old-fashioned wooden
roller coaster per the observation of 1 gazer.  That or a train
trestle.

A beautiful day, folks.  Temps at about 60 coming home  at 1400, lots
of sunshine, very little breeze.   We live for these days!
