Blair says:
"Less than two weeks after wild fires, wind, dust and smoke cut visibility to near zero across much of eastern Washington, Columbia Basin Railway's Connell turn crosses a country road between Warden and Bruce, with 14,410' tall Mount Rainier visible in the clear morning air 129 miles to the west. . . . amazing. By the end of the day, with plowing in the fields and trucks on the gravel roads stirring up dust, there's no way you'll see even a fraction of that distance."
