<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>At Midway Geyser Basin at 3:30 pm yesterday, about 40 people were at the bridge, which is closed by yellow ribbon.  Many were continuing on south on the river bank across from Excelsior, trying to get pictures.  More cars were arriving as I left.  I've seen no bears at either Midway or Lower Basins boardwalks, nor has anyone else I know.  At the Lower Basin, beyond the bear closure signs, workers were nailing down new boardwalk, and the walk from the parking lot to the circular walk appears complete.  Looking forward to seeing Great Fountain, we hope, on Friday when the Firehole Lake Loop opens.  </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV></BODY></HTML>
