The forecast is calling for soaking rain across Oregon starting tomorrow.   The screenshot is for my house.

 

I hope the rest of the areas with fires are getting rain as well.

We finally got some smoke,it's from the Sequoia NP fire.

As we headed into town yesterday afternoon a look

down the Salinas  Valley and there it was a large layer of smoke

and by evening it had moved north over Montery Bay area.

We had trip planed down the coast to San Simeon SP for a few days,

but with the change in wind to offshore and the smoke being pulled

over from the fire area we gave up out trip.

This was the 3rd trip to be cancelled due to heat/smoke.

 

Oh well maybe October will be better.

Yes, it is still quite busy on this end with strike teams and aircraft going by and overhead. We absolutely loved the few days of clear air! The smoke is back and woke us overnight as it settled in.

I just got home from a backpacking trip that had been postponed several times since early August. I did get a couple of days of clear air near the crest of the Sierra when the wind shifted - watched the forecast and planned for it. 

 

And then I am walking through the Leavitt Meadow campground to get back to my truck and apparently someone took the NO FIRES red tape off the fire ring and had a campfire burning. It was 10:30 in the morning, warm enough to go swimming and no one was present in the campsite. 

 

I am just going to leave it at that as anything else I might say would likely offend someone.
