Some sunny spots, but mostly overcast and breezy in the geyser basin.
 Intermittent rain, some small hail at noon.

The road crew was painting the center line from Fountain Flat to 7
mile bridge on the W Entrance Rd.  In some spaces, the yellow paint
was sprayed across the travel lane and the shoulder.  Perhaps
equipment malfunction or just gusty winds?  The sign at Madison Jct
said road striping for 16 mi, so maybe they'll be back doing more.  I
had an experience with white road paint last year, and drove very
carefully!

Yesterday, I walked the stock trail from the lower end of Daisy trail
to Biscuit Basin (0.4mi).  The prior trail work had stopped in a
marshy area once across the Iron Creek bridge, and I never followed up
last summer to see if the work they did then would take me to dry
land.  The answer: not quite, but some heavy planks beside the trail
allow finishing with dry feet, at least in this dry year.  I saw a
nice Jewel eruption, also Mustard, nothing from Shell.  The cool air
and rain made Sapphire very steamy.
