Just over the ridge from us, the hills have been burning a couple of days. The winds have been horrible, and up until today, it has been very warm here. Today was cold. UnCalifornia cold. Mid-60's. Burrr.

The other night coming home, we could see the glow above the flames.  The fires are still pretty far away, but the smoke has filled the valley we are in. I stepped out yesterday and discovered that our RV park now smells like a campground. The asphalt paradise at Coyote Valley RV has gained, and the tragedy of the fire, the ingredient to make it seem like we "camping".

Maybe that is a new product idea. An escense that is marketed to RV parks that they can emit into the air that will give that campground smell. It would be similar in practice to what they emit into the air at KFCs to make you stop for some crack chicken. Devils.

So, the other day when I was basking in my campground smell glory, I shook the dreams of being in the redwoods somewhere and quickly went inside to close vents and windows. I then remembered how nice it was to have a greatly sealed RV to escape that smell. 

I guess campgrounds smell like campgrounds, but I sure love getting away from it.
