Moving east brought us once again into the arid and semi-arid lands east of the Cascades. Yesterday we tried to head north and a little east and ran into smoke from fires which were supposed to be in the northern areas of the state. Lassen National Park was our objective, but as we approached the park, the smoke became more oppressive. It began to remind me of the Glacier-Missoula area where it was really nasty. By the way, the Jocko Lake fire north of Missoula is still burning four weeks after we left. We headed back south to loop home and soon were out of the worst of the smoke.
Our RV park here allows vehicle and RV washing which most don't, so I took advantage and washed the truck and the roof of the RV. It was also Super Saturday at the US Open tennis championship, so we saw some of the action. If you saw any of the Federer-Roddick match, you saw some great tennis. Roddick played about as well as he could and was still taken out in straight sets. Federer looks unbeatable on any surface but clay and has reached 10 consecutive Grand Slam event finals.
Today was a planned downday. We'll do some chores, finish washing the RV and get excited about the Giants game. Eli's comin'.
