Day 160, 6/9/2011


Finally! Today we got a good, steady soaking rain that we desperately needed.

With 43 wildfires currently burning in Alaska, and most of them in the Interior, the last couple days have been very smoky. You know things are getting bad when you are sitting in a climate controlled office with all portals sealed, and all day long you feel like you should have a marshmallow on a stick.

Even though it’s rained steadily since yesterday afternoon, we still woke up to the strong smell of smoke this morning and a hanging miasma outside. 

It’s a fact of life here in the summer. The question is, will it be this way all summer?
