7/17/06 – This morning, it’s our turn to get some of the smoke from the Cavity Lake fire. The smoke is moving in and out every few minutes, so we must be on the edge of the smoke plume. It isn’t too bad – just the distinct smell of smoke in the air. Winds are predicted to switch to the south east tonight, so that will clear things up.
We had another down pour of rain this morning, dropping a quick four tenths of an inch along with a little hail. The temperature has moderated and we’re glad to see the hot temperatures depart.
Cindy and I saw a small cow moose with a beautiful calf in the pond alongside the Sawbill Trail about seven miles south of here last night. Of course, we forgot to bring the camera! – Bill
