I spent the weekend camping on a reservoir off of Route 4 on the other side of Ebbett's pass from this (Tamarack fire.) The smoke and pyrocumulonimbus cloud were impressive to see up close, in part because it would change dramatically throughout the day/weekend as the fire grew in different areas and the smoke shifted with changing winds. Spending the weekend puttering around on a beautiful Sierra reservoir while a huge fire rages in the distance was... very on brand for 2021.

So glad we made it through last night's red flag warning without much action around the bay! ...For now...
