The Mt. Lassen hike is definitely postponed. Ronna had serious doubts about even getting across Hwy 20, and the air quality is so bad no one should be climbing! I am going over to Susanville today for Mom's birthday, so will see if the air is any clearer up high. I don't think it will be - there are fires all around. I haven't heard of any local fires burning any structures yet. They have a few road closures up past Shasta Lake City by the dam, but that may be more to keep sightseers out of the area. I had heard you could see the fire up there very well from the Dam, so probably everyone wanted to go take a look! I have been taking the warning seriously about not exercising! I haven't take the dogs on a walk all week! I have thrown Allin in the pool, but that is about all we have done outside. I use the local radio station's website to keep up on the fires. I you want to take a look, it is www.q97country.com. They have a "Latest fire information" link on the right side. It has all the local fire info, including acreage burned.
