This is what the air quality looks like even when the smoke isn’t as bad as it has been. There have been days it would not have been good to fly. The closest fire to me is about 20 miles to the North in the Big Sur area. I live out at Lake Nacimiento, California in San Luis Obispo County. https://photos.smugmug.com/Air-2-Work/i-8FsrLDj/0/f6e6a894/1920/DJI_0015s1-1920.mp4 You really like your cars over there.

About 3/4 mile I just checked one of my flight logs and it is about 3,800 feet from my back yard. -- Regards, Savageduck |

That is burning about 25 miles (20 Km) from my home. Here is a Big Sur resident’s photo record of what is happening there. When conditions are good I regularly travel in that area. Now that is not possible due to closure of Highway 1 from San Luis Obispo County through to Carmel-by-the-Sea. https://bigsurkate.blog/dolan-fire-photo-gallery/ -- Regards, Savageduck |

I have visited McWay Falls and stayed at Ragged Point several times while travel ling from SoCal to the Monterey Historics overs the years. Hwy 1 is closed from just North of Ragged Point. The Ragged Point Inn & Restaurant are still open for now. However, there have been put on notice that they might be subject to immediate evacuation. The only way you are going to get McWay Falls shots this season, is if you are a firefighter, or a Big Sur resident who hasn’t evacuated. The last Monterey Historic I got to was in 2010. There were a few I would have liked to see, but stuff intervened. maybe next year. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Here is one of my first (4th) MA2 flights in early July, which taught me a lesson about losing visual contact & controller connection. Fortunately the excellent DJI system saved the day. What I am showing with this video are the hills shown in the linked shot above, and just how clear things are when there is no smoke. https://photos.smugmug.com/Air-2-Work/i-Jv5psp9/0/4b99207a/1920/NearMiss-1920.mp4 -- Regards, Savageduck |
