Dirtyhip Posted September 1, 2017 Share #2 Posted September 1, 2017 Our state is a blaze. The air has been horrible. Riding has become very difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrapr ★ Posted September 1, 2017 Share #3 Posted September 1, 2017 Another month to go until the Fall rains start in (+/-) Every day is different in regards to smoke. Today sounded better in Bend (as reported by WoScrapr) Very glad we got an electronic air filter put in about a month ago. Ash was dropping most of the week in Bend. we were sitting (and drinking) Monday at the fire pit outside and white pieces of stuff were dropping on the fire table. I was out at Paulina lake this weekend w/my little brother. Next day there was a fire there. And 2 more along our route. And 2 more on the highway to Salem/Portland. Closing the highway for a time. Now flagging traffic through. Couple areas on Evac alerts. And lots of folks staying away from campgrounds on what would typically be a big weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheep_herder ★ Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share #4 Posted September 1, 2017 I may send you some photos of our smoke tomorrow. Here is one my wife took before sunset. One 40,000 acre fire and one 8,000 acre fire are burning 50 miles south of town. Another one is burning southeast of here, but not sure how big it is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
