The smoke is getting a lot worse here in Revelstoke.
Up until yesterday we could still see the mountains through the smoke.
Yesterday was the worst yet. The mountains are right there but we could not see them at all, not even an outline.
The sun is obscured so bad that all we can see is a red dot in the sky, and you can look right at it.
Haven't left the RV yet today but looking out the window it's more of the same today.
The smoke smell is very evident in the air, and we are coughing like a smoker from it. It's pretty bad. And our eyes are stinging too.
I have had pictures texted to me from friends in Penticton and Kelowna. It's the same there too. A cousin RVing in Lethbridge and Waterton in South Alberta sent pics, same situation.
Cousin in William's Lake sent pics, it's really bad there, hard to see down the street.
I ran back to Calgary a few days ago when I had my truck towed home. Air quality there is very poor, but not as bad as here in BC. I brought the car back to Revelstoke so we have wheels, there is a layer of soot and ash all over it.
Don't think there is anywhere in BC where its clear...
Not the best time to be trying to enjoy the outdoors. We are mostly staying inside the RV.
