    Wildfires and Water

    June 27, 2021 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 102 °F

    Heat dome and wildfire season NO THANK YOU. We were going to stay in Ritzville, WA as a one night stop over but I freaked out after seeing a wildfire just before getting to that town. Found out through local news that the fire was reported to authorities about 45 minutes before we drove by it. It caused level 3 evacuations in a nearby area. I found a place near water (and further away from the wildfire we saw) next to the highway. What I didn’t realize was that, even though it is situated next to the highway, you have to take about 7 miles of gravel road to get to it. Aaand the place is not great for what we are paying. It’s been a long day. Hoping tomorrow will be better. Don’t let the sunset on water view fool you. Junker cars, trash and weird smells are behind that view.Read more
