Pack you bike in your car and come visit. I’ll take you on a bike ride and even buy the PBRs. You can stay with us, in a tent, or camper. I promise you won’t see many people in khakis.
Are you riding in the Great Deer Chase in August? I was just reading about that yesterday.

We actually might do it this year. It usually falls during our regularly scheduled vacation but not this year. We know a lot of people that do it every year.

As I happens, I'm setting up camp in the Porkies the night before. I'm sure the MTB part is way beyond my ability and I'm probably not going to have the energy after the drive up on Friday, but I do have to find some places to ride during my visit to supplement my hiking.

There are plenty of spots to ride over that way from paved paths to gnarly single track. Enjoy your time up here and let me know if you need any suggestions/ideas.

Can’t see the sun.
A gray haze with an air quality index of 265.
Smells like Canadian smoke.
Worst smoke / smog I’ve seen since late May/June 1980 when we lived in Norman Oklahoma in the weeks following Mt St Helen’s eruption.

If you side trip into the Keweenaw (highly advise it) you could hit Brockway Mountain Drive for a ride. Start from the Eagle Harbor end...starting at the Copper Harbor end would be a bitch.Floyd Robertson wrote:Motown Spartan wrote:

Thanks, I'm definitely looking at that! I've got 3.5 days in that area before I pull up the stakes and head over to Taquemenon for a couple.

Or maybe it was that I discovered a flat tire I wasn't in the mood to deal with. You decide.

Nope, you're inhaling burned trees and brush and whatever else is burning.

You're better off running the ac until this is done with. I've got three air filters going in my house so the air quality is pretty good as long as I don't leave a door or window open or run the gas stove.

Not to mention the hordes of Canadian eco-warriors who self-immolated in protest of the out of control wildfires caused by climate change. Ironically, setting themselves on fire started another raging, out of control wildfire. So Dwags is breathing in crispy Canadians, too.
just kidding. for all I know, Dwags’ fog was caused by Mrs. Dwags’ lady farts.

In all fairness to Dwags, his sense of smell has not been very good since he cut down on the bud lt and turned to smack

You’d do well to wait another day. Seriously. Exercising outside when the air quality is this bad is just silly. Besides, it’s too late for us to start a pool on the time of day you’re hospitalized with chest pains.

Re: Post your current weather status
At times on Tuesday, the Air Quality around the state of Michigan was registering numbers on the Air Quality Index (AQI) that were some of the highest in the world when it came to air pollution.
In addition to the haze and fog that accompanied that smoke, many around the area noticed the smell that came along with it. The descriptions of that smell varied, but one of the most common descriptions seemed to be that smoke smelled like burnt plastic. Regardless of your description, it didn’t seem to be our traditional campfire smoke smell that many are accustomed to.
We decided to see if we could find some answers on why that smell occurred, and thanks to our meteorological contacts at the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), we were able to get an answer on what may have caused it.
According to a toxicologist at EGLE: “Wood fires emit a lot of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Most of these VOCs are noticeable to our noses as the familiar “campfire” smell, but they break down quickly when exposed to UV radiation from sunlight. Other VOCs like benzene, formaldehyde and acrolein are also released and they outlast the ‘campfire’ VOCs. It’s these chemical compounds that you’re smelling as the smoke wafts around for a few days and settles to the ground and reaches your nose.”
Although there are several fires burning in Canada, and different fires may have different explanations, this explanation may at least explain what we experienced locally today.

Instead, I edged all the beds and trimmed bushes. I think she has a meeting later so I might sneak out on my bike.

Let the record reflect that hundreds of wildfires should now be referred to as several.

With EL’s air quality this afternoon you could have stayed in the house with the AC running and smoked a half pack of Marlboro’s instead.
