Hoping for a smoke-free summer. The next 7+ weeks will be smoke free for me, but that’s because I won’t be in Ashland. Last year the smoke came late, as evidenced by this photo from early October.

Up Dead Indian Memorial Road you can find this scene, but only if you happen to pull off the road and look down. How long ago did this car take a tumble down the mountainside? 20 years ago? 30 years ago? I don’t know, but it could easily stay down there for the rest of time.
