One can note that much of Big Sur, and particularly the South Coast is in the highest risk category. I will be countering this effect with several cold showers today. None of my dogs like getting wet, so it is always a challenge for them.

Thanks Kate,
It is super hot- have a deer mom and its 2 babies hanging around under our roof flopping its ears about keeping flies away taking a break.
Hi Kate: It was 109 in the Target parking lot in Paso yesterday. 106 at our house. Not quite as hot today. You might try a wet wash cloth on the dogs. My dogs like to be pampered so they don't mind the wash cloth. Even my horses went for the wash cloth yesterday!! Stay Safe & Cool. J&S
I did that with Dakota yesterday with a bunch of wet paper towel covering her back. She did go for that.
Hot at Partington too.
My doggehs don't like getting wet, either, but I use a mister bottle just above them, and they love it!!
That's a good idea, Karen. I'll try that! They don't mind the wet cloths, either.
Kate,
Air quality beyond Arroyo Seco Campground must be super bad semi dark very hazy from what I can see on the horizon from the village hightops.
Can't see any of that from here.

Last year hottest on record. This year records will be broken again. Global warming?? I think so. Trumps solution? Cancel the Paris accords and support more coal production. What a jerk ! Doesn't he realize this problem affects all of us including his children ? All I can say is I feel real sorry for our kids and grandkids. What a disaster they will have to deal with. Many species on this earth have become extinct. Is humanity just the latest addition to the list?
RIP Portugal Fire residents & firefighter inferno crews...
Portugal. More then 60 dead in forest fire. Most trapped in their cars on a narrow mountain road trying to evacuate. Same thing could happen in Big Sur with residents trying to evacuate using the only access still available.
