| #6 No Tater. He has his own problems with his own heat. Spooky! Heh heh. We were very careful not to be cut off by fire. Some roads are open, but we stayed away from the ones with fire on both sides. Some roads are closed due to fires and visiblity is less than 100 yards. Helicopters are the only things flying, and some places they get grounded from low visibility. It gets pretty eerie at times. Here is a link to BLM mapping of the fire near Tok (eastern Alaska near the Alcan border), FYI. |

| #2 Don't run into this monster with your vehicle, heh. The state fair starts soon, so I will try to get some pics of the big fellah. Been up to Tok, Alaska in the smoke. Was near the alcan border at Northway, fires on one side of the road, visibility down to 1/8 mile or less. The sun is a dim orange orb through the smoke. 4 million acres + burning. People up there been living in severe smoke for 2 months now. Some villages I need to visit are surrounded by fire. Welcome to hell, folks. |
