We spent this week trying to stay out of the heat. A wildland fire burning in the southwestern corner of Oregon finally managed to drift some smoke over our way. The drop in air quality on top of hundred degree daytime temps wasn’t very conducive to outdoor activities.
However, we did manage to fit in a trip to the Upper Deschutes. There are some well shaded nooks along the stream to set up a chair, cast a fly and throw a stick.
The weather man promises a moderation to record setting heat ahead , , , we’ll see. But there are plans being made to locate other shaded spots.
