smoke here in North Idaho from that fire. same view on a clearer day

Been there many times. Nice little town with a good restaurant and plenty of places to park a truck.
Son left Caldwell ID last night headed for Tacoma. I84 closed at the first off ramp. He had to swing down through Central OR across 20 to bend the up 26 to Portland. A lot of miles out of the way. Roads closed in several places in Central OR all because of fires.

yep, it's a real odd looking day here. Looks like it's cloudy, but it's all smoke. Keeping the heat down today, but the smoke smell is the trade off.

Boise was very smokey yesterday. Nampa and Caldwell were just hazy.
Broncos are officially the worst team in the nation this year.

Boise was very smokey yesterday. Nampa and Caldwell were just hazy. That's from fires in OR. We're in Portland now. Yesterday we left ID intending to camp north of La Grande. I-84 was closed south of Baker because of a fire so we headed west toward John Day. We camped east of John Day then checked this morning for road closures. 26 was closed west of John Day so we headed north toward Pendleton. It was so smokey that sometimes we couldn't see across the valleys. My eyes are burning tonight. It only added 100 miles to our trip. NE Oregon is burning up.

I am in Canby just south of you. We leave tomorrow morning to head back to the farm for another load. Wish we had time to buy you a cup of coffee or breakfast.

We're actually staying with our daughter in Vancouver. We're here for her baby shower tomorrow night and tomorrow I suspect I'll be a taxi service for proud Grandma to do some baby gift shopping all over Portland. I hate city driving.

Portland isn't the worst city to drive in but is may be in the top fifteen percent. We will be going up 205 to 5 and then on to 101 at Olympia. We load up and come back sunday.
Best of luck in you adventure tomorrow.

Boise is worse. It's far smaller than Portland but somehow they've managed to screw up the traffic enough to make it far worse than big cities. You can travel east & west in Boise without too much problem but they've never addressed north & south traffic.

If you can stay away from the down town parts you should do fine. At least you did not have to do a Friday at 4:00 thing. That can take a while.

back to the town burning...100 homes in a town of only 650 is a blow that they'll likely never recover from. Houses are likely insured but the landscape will be gone for many years. That's on the dry side of the Cascades where rainfall is pretty minimal. Trees grow much slower than farther west.
