August has come around again, and with it the necessary trip to the coast to restock the freezer with tuna. This year hasn’t been quite as hot or smoky as the past couple years but nevertheless this trip always serves as a quick getaway to a change of weather and scenery mid summer.
Labor Day is approaching and the long hot smoky days of summer draw are drawing to a close. Fire season necessitates sticking close to home over the summer but there have been some chances to escape to a nearby lake or two, and even a couple of days on the coast. Here’s a couple of shots from the last month or two of adventures.
Paulina Lake never disappoints with its blue water and beautiful sunsets. The kokanee are pretty tasty too.
Before fires completely filled the sky with smoke later in August we were treated to a few nice color filled sunsets, including this one spotted on the way back from an evening trip to Paulina.
It’s mid August, the dreaded County fair has come to an end, it’s hot and smoky with no relief in sight. What to do? Head to the coast for tuna of course!
When it is really hot inland it’s pretty common for the coast to be fogged in, cloudy and cool. That was certainly the case this time around. It was a welcome break after weeks of heat and quite a bit of wildfire smoke.
