We just finished driving from San Diego to Tacoma WA. I had planned to bring

border, Oregon, and to a lesser extent Washington *to be covered in smoke.

My brother lives in Red Bluff and last Saturday the visibility was something
like a mile and a half in smoke at RBL.

How are you guys in California coping? The news doesn't seem very
encouraging as to when an end might be in sight.

Not well. *I'm a student and I have a
5 mile vis limitation. *I got in 2 touch
and go's in the pattern early Sunday
The AWOS was saying 10 miles vis but that
was surely a lie.

It is clearing up some today with the
delta breeze coming in. *Probably only
a passing thing though with all the fires
still burning.
