 Good Morning, We're enjoying are second straight dawn with clear, beautiful conditions. It's supposed to remain that way until this afternoon when the chance of thunderstorms increases. Yesterday's high temperature was 67 degrees, and our low from that morning was 51. There was a short afternoon shower on Wednesday that barely dripped 0.02" on the mountain. It's already off to a warm start today, currently in the upper 50's. Your updated Solar Eclipse forecast... Things are looking favorable now. Mostly sunny skies. The weekend leading up to the spectacle is quite promising for a day spent in the outdoors as well. We'll see if it holds!  Hi! I need a name! Today marks a special occasion, an act that may be a first in lodge history. See the llama pictured above? He's one of our newest recruits who came in with Ignacio. The thing is...HE NEEDS A NAME! And so the wranglers would like for LeConte Lodge fans to help us in the naming process. Please submit your ideas as a comment on today's post, or over on our Facebook page under the same photograph. After we gather a healthy number of submissions, the wranglers will decide on the name that best suits this llama's look and personality. We appreciate your help, and happy naming!

Llamas originate from the central Andes of South America. An indigenous language of this region is Quechua. This new llama is chocolate in color. The Quechua translation for chocolate is "chukulati". I vote for Chukulati.

I submit the name, Joe. While a common name it is in honor of Joseph LeConte. There was also a huge bear who hung around the Lodge in the 70's. We called him Old Joe. Up until his last days he did not cause trouble or get into mischief.

Scrolling down, the first thing I saw were the ears on the new llama, and they looked like the pinchers on a giant beetle. I would name him Beetle, or Bug if you like something shorter.

His name is Jerm. Hands down. Iggy and Jerm; has a nice ring to it, right? .... plus a jerm is the name for an old trading vessel that would carry passengers and freight, and after all these llamas help carry things to and fro. What more do I have to say? ;) --- today's my birthday!

Otto....after Grotto Falls. In honor of the beautiful waterfall the llama train passes beneath twice on each day they trek up to the lodge. Maybe "Tennessee" or "Vol" representing the state and the spirit of their service to the lodge and it's many guests and visitors.

Although the eclipse inspired names are good, he will have to live 350 years to get appreciation for it again. With his long neck and giraffe like look, we suggest Jerome.
