| August 18th - Early morning photo of Pearl shows only some light haze and no obvious plumes of smoke. |
| Within a few minutes, the haze begins to fill the area in front of Mt. Farwell. |
| Within an hour or so, the smoke is so dense that visiablilty looking in any direction is very poor - the auto focus on my camera won't work due to the dense smoke in all directions! |
| As I get ready to leave for home, a ranger is making rounds to assure campers that the State Park campgrounds are safe - the dense smoke this morning is from a temperature inversion causing smoke from the large fire nearby to fill the Pearl area. |
