Controlled Burn on Ft. Hunter-Liggett

8:30 pm – the drift has spread out over the ocean and to the north. It is considerable. Here is a shot of it. That golden layer on the horizon is the smoke.

I have confirmed what I suspected, as I have been watching smoke drift all day, again today. On WildCAD-LPF

“07/16/2011 10:14 LPF-1692 Prescribed Fire FHL Training area 24”

The interesting thing is that the smoke drift has grown considerably since 3:00 o’clock this afternoon. I will continue to check it until sunset.
