Interstate 5 southbound near Weed Airport Road, Weed, California |
Driving south from Oregon to Santa Cruz last Saturday, the smoke was dense from the Oregon border all the way to Sacramento. Normally, you can see Mount Shasta from I-5, but not a glimpse of it on this trip. That's Black Butte in the distance on the left.
There were two large fires: the Carr fire west of Redding, and the Mendocino Complex fire farther south. The Mendocino Complex fire became the largest fire in recorded California history later in the week.
