Warren,
Even if I had a car I wouldn't take it out in this mess. I did drive over to the dam this morning and talked to some of the security guards. Smoke was so think you couldn't see the bottom of the canyon and barely the river in places. Some guy stopped that was driving a lowboy and said he had to come back in a couple of weeks to get their D-8 dozer. I guess they got a D-6 stuck and took a D-7 down to pull it out and now they are both stuck. He also said they had a brand new D-7 that just had 8 hours on it stuck farther North. At least there was a breeze off the lake and it kept the smoke away from the dam, so I had my first breath of clean air in three weeks. Fortunately I have a permit to cross the dam so I could go out on it and look around. And on the way home I passed 7 fire trucks heading over there. It is supposed to be around 104 here today, so it will be really bad in those canyons near the fires.
