Tom,
If you can take digital pics and send them to me, I can post for you.
I just came back from So. Dakota lastnight to find Southern Calif on fire. Thick brown haze everywhere and a layer of brown ash on everything. My house is in Torrance about 2 miles from the ocean and is just now getting some clear air. One of the fires in Orange County came within a couple miles of them, but was stopped.
I'm headed out tomorrow to try to quail hunt up next to an area that burned a month ago. I don't hold much optimism since it's also been a severe drought in the last year now. Tomorrow will tell.
