Mostly sunny, breezy, and mild at outset, but becoming overcast at end, with distant rumbles of thunder; it would be raining by about 8pm. Did the Hecla-Waneka loop, with two visits to the Greenlee observation deck. A new flush of water is coming into Hecla, and it is higher than I've ever seen it; Waneka still quite high; Greenlee still rising--but it has a ways to go.
