FINDING YOUR WAY HOME! .............................. NORTHWEST ADVENTURES! 😀

Finding Your Way Home!😊
Many old camping and weather saying are based on facts, and can help you stay safe …….and dry, during your outdoor adventures in the Mountains!😇
If you get hopelessly lost………………….
Find the nearest creek, and follow it downhill! This is one of the best ways to find civilization!
Can you tell if it will rain soon?
Just look at the smoke in the fourth to last photo. See how the smoke is rising straight up…….
This indicates good weather ahead!
During periods of low atmospheric pressure ( rain, snow ), the smoke will generally not go straight up, but will go sideways!
Low atmospheric pressure when burning a wood stove in your home can cause down drafts!
Smoke can pour out of a wood stove door that is opened too quickly, filling the room!😳
“When the dew is on the grass, rain will never come to pass!”
I have found this to be one of the best indicators of rain/ or no rain!😇
Of course living close to the Ocean, all bets are off Lol!🙄
Close to the Ocean, you can have beautiful blue skies one day, and the next day you might be thinking about building an Ark!😅😮
Anywhere inland these are very accurate weather indicators!😊
Today my neighbor Kurt was building the bonfire you see in my post.
As Liz and Silvertop drove to town, you could see the clouds piling up!🙄
“Kurt’s bonfire smoke is going straight up Liz!”😇
“ Silvertop…….maybe we should enjoy the Sunshine today, and think about building that Ark Lol! “🥰
Hmmm…………….🤔
Till tomorrow Silvertop Mike 😊
