Boaters, paddlers, and people participating activities on water should exercise caution and prioritize safety. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada.

Strong winds expected in areas outlined by blue, air quality
warnings in effect in orange and yellow shaded areas.
Area in blue with gusty winds looks to exclude us, but it
could definitely fan anything that starts below us.
Recent wind gusts have brought down trees in the 2021 burn and in
other areas, across the road.

Filming today on Manuel's Flats
The signs are out, and there is traffic control. I was directed to proceed slowly - the guy setting up the camera was right on the edge of the pavement and seemingly unaware of traffic.
Friday Night
Thanks to Rod for the photo. I stopped several times on my way back from the valley and took what I thought were stunning shots of smoke layers, with blue in between. Unfortunately the memory card was not in the camera.

Work continues across the road.
Note: this is Baldy Road, when I went to town Monday on McKinney Road, I met logging trucks going down and back up.
