We’ve seen some ash here and there around camp, but are lucky not to be overwhelmingly covered in smoke. In fact the sun is shining and out today and there is blue in the sky. Each day this week we’ve had small rain showers helping to keep camp watered and the smoke low key.
We had a great 4th of July here at camp yesterday! Hope yours was the same!
