Eagle eye Susan noticed that the route I was planning to travel had a section that was just closed due to the damage done by the forest fires that have been plaguing Oregon this summer.  We had a week of bad smoke from the fires north and south of us and the one south was 90 miles away!  The revised route will bypass OR 242 and miss the Dee Wright Observatory.
