Oregon again! Scenic route this time.

The entire Portland area has an air quality alert, this afternoon visibility is about 2miles at most, everything is rose colored and smoky from the fire's in Washington state and eastern Oregon. Red flag warnings and humidity in the 20s, hopefully the entire PNW doesn't burn to a crisp. Worst I've seen it in 56 years of living here.

Sheesh. It's pretty mind boggling how that much smoke can get blown all over the place.
Medford was kind of on and off with the smoke while I was there, and Crater Lake was really not bad the day I went up (Union Creek along the way was pretty smoky). I guess I got pretty lucky with my timing!

I also heard from the guys who went back down south last Sunday that the 101 corridor was super hot, 100+. But by the time I got there on Thursday/Friday it was back into the 70s or low 80s, very comfortable ride!
