Fires in California

Thursday, July 10 - As we drove down US-101 from San Francisco to get to San Simeon, we could definitely see the direct smoke from the fires around Big Sur rising from behind the mountains to the west. The sky was so dark that it looked like a thundercloud reached all the way down to the ground. However, the haze from the smoke gave the sky an orangey cast - very spooky. When we stopped and got out of the car, we could actually see little white flakes drifting down from the sky and landing on the car. Ash from the fires, we assume.
