Re: 2013 Fire & Smoke Reports
well, SF. Why not cover HH in a big dome. Not like the ash won't settle out in Crystal springs.
I'm more concerned about Flip not being able to get to work.

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

Re: 2013 Fire & Smoke Reports
Yeah..I've been doing some research and everything I've read has talked about how impressive the burn was yesterday. The evening news yesterday talked about the pyrocumulus cloud showing up on radarmaverick wrote:Wish it was, but radio and TV have also reported it growing to over 3x the size today.Caddis wrote:

Reno is socked in this afternoon from the Rim fire. Carson City is also socked in with reports of particulate ash falling. Eyes are burning.

Re: 2013 Fire & Smoke Reports
Does anyone know how far south the smoke is drifting? Was planning trip out of north lake to Lamarck lakes after Labor Day. Thinking it might be too smokey. Thoughts?

Re: 2013 Fire & Smoke Reports
This view of the plume makes it look like it's all headed north (which would explain reports of terrible smoke in Reno). Winds could always shift, so it's worth monitoring, but at this point it doesn't look like there's much impact further south.Etchilds wrote:Does anyone know how far south the smoke is drifting?
