Lee & I drove up I-5 Thursday afternoon, and it was smokey all the way up to Redding. It was especially bad in the Sacramento area, xeney you have my sympathies! We passed by a very large wildfire just to the west of Redding. We stayed overnight in Weed near Mt. Shasta, and the next morning it was fairly clear out so it looks like there weren't any fires much north of Redding.

We continued north and spent the morning at Craker Lake in southern OR, where the air was crystal-clear. (omg it is gorgeous there.)
