Day 13 - Sept. 24 Smoky drive



I mentioned earlier that we were driving from Pendleton to Burns on Hwy 395. What I neglected to say is that we were skirting two of the many forest fires plaguing Oregon right now. These 2 fires were burning to the east of us and the air through which we drove was thick with smoke. At times it was actually a bit unnerving, but we passed several US Forest Service folks as well as some from ODOT and none of them seemed too panicky so we forged on. I took 2 photos of the smoke from the car and have posted them here.
