Default Avoid US 101 @ border CA/OR coast

Pretty intense ATM. We haven't seen the sun in 4 days. The photo was taken last Friday about noon, that is the leading edge of the smoke plume, the ash fall is light, but constant.

The Feds sat on this fire since July 12th, yay team!

Yep it's bad, but don't look for any relief inland. If you're travelling through the State of Jefferson you just have to suck it up, literally.
