Puzzles 50 and 51 (Yajilin)

50 puzzles on this blog! 🎉 I was considering doing a special puzzle, but I decided against it.  Maybe at 100 :)

Here are two Yajilin puzzles I constructed this evening!  My goal in doing this was to force myself to construct easier puzzles (say, difficulty 1 or 1.5 on GMPuzzles), since much of my construction relies on e.g. non-obvious entry points.  The first puzzle ended up being a bit too hard in this regard, but the second seems like it fit the desired difficulty.
