The smoke from the fire seems to be drifting into the Valley and into the High Country/Toulumne. I did the Valley floor with my daughter and grandkids and it was very smokey. I happen to snag a Lyell Canyon to Ireland and out Rafferty overnight permit, but with the smoke drifting that way, am going to pass. When I drive from Coarsegold to Oakhurst I can see the smoke plume and it has easily doubled in size from Saturday
On Tuesday we are going to May Lake. My second granddaughters name is Sierra May(Named after the lake) So we are going come hell or highwater as they say.. Will report back on the conditions.

Thanks for the local report. We cancelled a trip to the Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne for today---the third time we've had to cancel that trip. Someday we'll take it, and end the jinx!

Yes you would have been right in it. Today was a bit better, see my May lake post but the mosquitoes were hell. Surprised me as I did Glen Aulin in mid-June and had zero mosquitoes.
