Pacific Northwest

Cape Flattery, most northwestern point on mainland US

After fleeing smoke in Olympic National Park from wildfires in British Columbia, we headed west and around the Olympic Peninsula, and down the Washington and Oregon coasts.

We were in Willamette National Forest along the McKenzie River for the solar eclipse.

We dodged the eclipse traffic out of Madras Oregon with a great campsite along the Deschutes River:

Central and southwestern Oregon were shrouded in dense smoke from wildfires that still are raging out of control. The smoke and fire risk are threatening northern California.
