You are right Paul.....it was a great weekend to fly. I flew Saturday
afternoon out of Thun Field. That smog layer you talk of was for sure
there. We took off and got great views of Rainier, and then went south over
Morton and at 6000 to 8000 we got great pictures of Adams and Helens as
well. We could even see Hood down to the south! But, looking back to the
north, you couldn't see much......you may be right about the allergy
thing....

Hi Fred:

I'm in the same area as you.I'm based at Spanaway. During are last couple
of days of beautiful weather I noticed that I had a LOT of sinus
congestion. I wonder if you might have allergies you are unaware of. There
was a lot of smog down low and a lot of wood smoke in the air where I am
at. You could see a dirty brown layer topping out at around 1500 AGL. I
never got above 2000, but I'll bet if I went high I would have noticed the
pressure.

Flew Friday--Saturday says the Spouse "You were at the airport all day
yesterday, honey do day today" Sunday IFR
