Smoke from HWY 1 uploaded by admin.

We’re staying at The Sea Ranch which is located on the coast at the uppermost part of Sonoma County. We’ve had a lot of smoke this week, likely from the fires just across the border in Mendocino County. On Wednesday, we took a tip to Ft. Bragg to visit the Mendocino Coast Botanical Garden. On the way back, the smoke got very intense as we neared the town of Manchester, perhaps 20 M north of TSR. This photo would normally show a range of hills. Instead, the smoke was rolling off of the hills like fog does. This doesn’t really do it justice. Today, we woke without the smell of smoke in the air. No telling what that means but we’re grateful.
