Wide spot in road, wild fires, dust and Milky Way!

The high winds I talked about yesterday have wreaked havoc on beautiful Oregon. Trees down everywhere, roads closed due to wild fires and fires way to close to our friends farmhouse. Prayers! 


View of Mount Hood with smoke 


We thought these were clouds. Nope - smoke from the fires near Mount Jefferson. 


We stayed at a wide spot in the road called Riley, Oregon. Nothing but dust, some ducks on a pond behind our camper, and a view of the Milky Way. Not sure it is very clear in my pic. 




We woke up to 30 degrees and frozen water pipes. We turned on the furnace and water in about 5 minutes. But lesson learned. Another lesson - make reservations at really popular places!  We didn’t for Moab and everything is completely booked. We did get someplace about 40 minutes from arches national park. It will be an inconvenience but at least we have a place to hook up and have air conditioning for Kate.
