As for terrestrial RV's in Camp Scholler, this is the winner for biggest (so far).

16 hauling wheels (10 on dual rear, dually truck and 6 more on tri-ax trailer).
Apparently 12 more wheels rode inside trailer (Maverick truck & two JD's).

Looks like Canadian wildfire smoke effecting visibility. Hoping it clears by this weekend.

Was visiting HBC this morning and only saw one plane taxi in (Bearhawk I think?).
While out on the grounds, Security is much tighter on vehicle credentials & speeds.
Smoke? yep it's annoying to the point of irritation.

Went to the Reno Air Races a few years ago with the smoke in our eyes the whole weekend. Took a lot of the fun out of it, I can tell you

I put on a mask today to breath in smoky Ann Arbor, MI. It helped a lot. If you have any masks remaining from Covid or friends do, see if you can grab a few. I think a cloth mask that has been wetted down might get rid of most of the irritating particulates in the air you breath.

FWIW ground level smoke haze is about the same as yesterday (vis ~1 sm?) - but is currently low level and thin. Above/thru it there's blue sky w/ high scattered cirrus.
No telling what it'll do as day advances, Your visibility may vary (YVMY)
