I have been too busy to check in here all that often... yessir, when you're in this neck of the woods and the air isn't dark brown, come fly with us!Balloon Depot | We offer the most unique and adventurous hot air balloon...Done one balloon ride. It was in Capadocia, Turkey and was a sunrise flight. There were at least 30-40 Very large envelope balloons floating about. 19 people in each gondola. A bit crowded but was still an awesome experience. Next time we head over the hill to Seattle. We will book a flight. Quote Selected 1 Likes
Re: PNW smoke Reply #26 – August 31, 2018, 10:08:33 am California is once again a good place to live and visit. The smoke is just about gone with only a very slight haze looking across our canyon. Most places are in the green now with zero indicating no particulates.

Re: PNW smoke Reply #29 – August 31, 2018, 07:06:40 pm Arrived Shady Cove just north of Medford. No issues on 101, 197 or 199 and I5. Beautiful drive along the Smith River! Only the slightest haze over Medford and clear in Shady Cove. Temps in mid 80's and tonites low projected at 50. All good! Quote Selected
Re: PNW smoke Reply #30 – August 31, 2018, 08:16:11 pm Randy,When you get to the NW corner of Nevada just before Denio, Bog Hot Springs is about a mile off 140. When the water comes out of the ground, it's too hot but a few feet downstream, it's perfect.Google MapsPierce Quote Selected 1 Likes
