Show Me the Way to Go Home

As we prepare to drive east and south back to the US, we have become acutely aware of wildfires along our path of travel. 
We have already given up taking the Cassiar Highway, which was closed today due to a month long fire.  Other wildfires menace that highway further south.

Smoke from hundreds of wildfires in southern British Columbia cover a wide area.  Even taking a 500 mile detour to Edmonton will not help, as the smoke reaches that far east.

Current plan  - drive the 900 miles to Dawson Creek, BC, north of the fires.  Which will take us about one week.  At that point, review the situation for the road ahead.

When we return home, I will write a letter to our Embassy.  Surely the Canadian government must take some action to protect American citizens from inconvenience.  I smell Lawsuit!

Check my blog. Smokey all the way to Regina. They usually get them under control quite quickly when they are near the highways.
