The canyon is once more on fire. Lightening storms are to blame and we are smoked in. This picture is an aerial view of the canyon which I thought was most impressive. Credit for the photo is listed above.
You can just see the river on the left side of the photo, you can't see us, we are under the layer of smoke hanging above the river. It has grown since this photo was taken on the 14th of July. It is called the Battle Creek Complex an is about 20 river miles from the house, so we are not overly concerned with it getting to us. The Forest Service have been working to set up fire lines in prevention of it coming south.
