Yesterday we got some enchiritos to welcome their return and also got a couple of the $2.50 chips and nacho supreme dip, but didn’t eat them then.
Today I reheated one and put it in a tortilla and -bam- really good and cheap TB burrito, with chips on the side!
On June 10th, crews will be closing the Panorama Trail between Nevada Falls and the Illilouette Creek Junction for helicopter operations, 7AM to 1PM. (NPS)
We’ve been having nothing but problems with the UM1 and now the air purifier when the power switch is flipped, the blue connection and power lights go on, but when I press the power button, within a second or two the red error light goes on. Every time.
I’ve pulled all the filters and re-inserted them. I replaced the filter at the connector on the rear of the laser and also blew out any soot that might have been in the fan. Still does it.
Oddly, when the laser is running the purifier is pulling smoke, even with the red error light staying on and neither the auto nor the fan levels lights are on.
Has this happened to anyone else? Solutions? Ideas???

You can’t order a tostada anymore but you can customize a pizza for a beefier tostada.
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has finished rock scaling work on State Route 140 (SR-140). However, Caltrans will be extending the temporary full closure of SR-140 through Friday, May 1, 2026.
Bear Activity: Male bears emerged from their dens in mid-March. Several collared bears have been active in the Valley, including in Upper Pines campground. We have not yet seen sows with cubs this spring but have a few very active females with yearlings out and about in the park. Please protect yourself and bears by staying at least 50 yards away when viewing them.
Red Bear, Dead Bear: One very large bear was hit by a car in early March on Highway 140 at the Merced River bridge but did not survive its injuries. Twenty-eight bears were struck by vehicles in 2025.
Fascinating Bear Facts: Bears shed their fur each year during the spring and summer, this is called molting. The bear’s sun-bleached fur is generally lighter in color than the new fur that grows in its place. This is why many bears appear to be blonde in the spring and darker in the fall.
Other Wildlife: A juvenile mountain lion was spotted on the Mirror Lake loop trail one evening in April.
Please report bear incidents and sightings: Call the Save-A-Bear Hotline at 209-372-0322 or e-mail yose_bear_mgmt@nps.gov.
