smoke chasing update...

over the past few months i've been able to snag a few more smoke chasing stops. not as many as i would like to have at this point. i did have a couple opportunities to really rack up a couple places all in close proximity but didn't take advantage of the situation. well, i'm almost halfway there. my plan was to finish above the minimum qualifying level. i'm not sure that's going to happen this year.

so my latest stops over the past couple months include three on the way to and from rolling thunder...

i love that my son enjoys doing this with me...

one locally when i was riding somewhere and had a few extra minutes.

this was early morning and a guy was carrying chairs and tables outside. he kept looking over at me - i'm sure he was wondering what i was doing!!

one in maggie valley - where i should have scored a lot more!!!

finally, one with my wife!!

that's it for now - more to come soon!!

oh, you can check out all my stops on my 2013 smoke chasing map...
