Smoky ride

Filed in Blog

Over at Raven’s Roads you’ll find a companion article to this one. I did two, as this was more bike-centric..

It would be inaccurate to say that we’re in the thick of things, but we’re in a non-burning area between three major fires which means that the smoke from the thick of things is hanging over everything. Yesterday we went down to Weaverville, and I took photos as I rode along on back. These are all taken along highway 299, usually a fantastic biker’s road but now weird and uncanny.

A nasty red sun lurks over an area where there is usually a lot more mountain to see.

It’s not there. Somebody stole the view.
