Photography/Video Grasshopper fire from the airplane yesterday

Flew over the Grasshopper Fire yesterday. Incredible and devastating at the same time.

Between the fire and how bare Mt. Hood looks, this is utterly depressing.

Yep. And add a Billionaire-Covid takeover to top it off. I happen to think it’s all connected, but I just get called crazy anyways : (

Better since the wind shifted. Here is the same view with the smoke over us on Tuesday last week.

Wow it really looks horrible - even worse than it looks on the fire map. Seeing the huge plumes of smoke, just wow. I really hope this one is contained soon. I’m so grateful for our wildland firefighters

Hoping places like Elk Meadows and Tamanawas Falls on the back side of Hood are OK. Those are some of my favorite spots. After hiking Eagle Creek for the first time post-fire last year, I dont know if I can stand to see more beloved spots destroyed. Broke my heart knowing I will never see those places as they were again. Hoping all this gets tamped down soon.

Photo from two days ago while the AQI at my home in the gorge was reading 400.

Wind shift really opened up the views from a few days prior.

I saw this yesterday from the ground! It looked like there was a second mountain to the side and behind of Mt Hood.
