So much for today's plans. Woke up to the worst smoke yet since we have been here. Both the house and the motorhome are closed up tight trying to keep the air as healthy as possible. Burning eyes and headaches are here, at least for me. As you can see from the photo below (red X) we are lucky, there are no fires burning nearby us - at least not at the moment. But the current wind patterns are bringing much of the smoke from elsewhere here. Everything is so dry that if a fire does start it will get very big very fast. Not sure if there a much in the way of resources to fight fires right now either. There are red warning signs on the highways to remind everyone of the fire danger but I don't think anyone needs to be reminded with all this smoke.
This has us thinking about starting out from here early. I have computed that it is currently a 375 mile, six hour, drive to get out of the smoke. Might be worth it. We can do it all on interstate which so far is clear of fire danger on that route. We will see how the smoke is tomorrow morning. Meanwhile it is breezy outside which can be good, bad, or very bad. Time will tell. Still would not trade places with the folks in Texas. Been a crazy end to summer.
All I can say is thank God you have A/C so that you all can stay "buttoned up". ~Mary
