Day 51: Smoke from California Fires Reaches Southern Oregon

We went to Table Rock Fellowship Church this morning. It was awesome. Very similar to PC3 back in Wilmington, NC. The campus is very deceiving from the road on which we came in. It looks like a store front with the sign on the top, but as you weave your way behind that building, which actually houses the children's ministry you see a gorgeous campus. I swear I have never seen flowers as beautiful as those here in Oregon.
You can see some of the roses in the window of the KOA reservation desk behind Glenn. I still have to get pics of some around here before they all die out.

We have heard for several days that the smoke is horrible coming north in California up our way
We saw the smoke from the California wild fire rolling into this area today as we went to church.
By the time we ate lunch and left for work, you could even smell it. As the evening progressed, the smoke thickened. If it is this bad here, I can't imagine what it must be like in Northern California. Some of our campers said it was taking them 5 hours to travel a typically 1 hour drive up I-5 because of the smoke and they have shut down some of the roads near Happy Camp, an Indian Reservation.
