Nice to see so much blue in Oregon. Though part of me still thinks it would be funny if all the people who headed to the Oregon coast got one of their typical overcast days.

Just remember that it's fire season in the West. We've had several days so thick with smoke that it appears cloudy and would ruin the experience. Plan accordingly.
