The Big Solar Eclipse

Our valley was covered in fire smoke so I went 

to the ridge line above it to see view the eclipse

 

Here's my video of the eclipse. 

It didn't get as dark as I hoped.

Forest Fire

There is a big forest fire in the Mt. Jefferson wilderness area.

The smoke from it has been blowing our way.

 

no view of Devils Ridge now
 

local fire fighting agencies came here today

and gave a presentation about the fire
