Arrived in Oregon earlier this week and was amazed at the smoke. Not sure what I was expecting, but I don't think most folks from the east coast can appreciate the devastation these fires have caused. Landing in zero visibility was quite an experience. Took a break from working and headed out to the coast hoping for clearer air. There was still quite a haze.
Found a new favorite restaurant here in the PNW, Elmer's. Fantastic breakfast selections that have had me skipping lunch.
Drove from Longview WA over to Yakima today and took in some of the sights along the way. Headed for Kalispell MT.
Road closures routed us through the National Forest surrounding Mt. Ranier, but we never caught site of it due to the low visibility.
