We just finished driving from San Diego to Tacoma WA. I had planned to bring
my VFR Tri-Pacer down to Brown Field near San Diego California. I found the
entire state of California from Bakersfield or so all the way up to the
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.

I wonder if I'll have to go east to get to San Diego and avoid Oregon and
Northern California entirely.
