Fire in the Sky

Yesterday I took the kids to the Browns Lake Trailhead and wanted to hike 2 miles to Crown Point. However, both Maya and Aden did not feel well. I think it may have been altitude related as they both had ear issues. In fact - yesterday evening Aden had severe ear pain and had trouble sleeping until we went out and got him some better medicine. Maya was fine when we got home but on past camping trips she has complained of not feeling well. Oh well... guess we'll move to Florida.

On the drive up we noticed a small wisp of smoke south of the canyon. On the drive down a massive cloud of smoke could be seen. For a few miles on the way down the sky was orange.
