We had a very smoky drive home from Portland on Sunday. We drove within a couple of miles of Mt. Hood but couldn’t even see it at all for the smoke in the air. I’m not sure exactly what the Air Quality Index was but it had to be pretty dang high. By the time we got as far south as Bend, the smoke wasn’t as bad, visibility was up to around a whole mile.
Right around the same time the Mini’s mileage turned past the forty thousand mile mark.
When we got home the car had it numerous squashed insects and road grime washed away down our driveway.
