They abruptly announced a temporary road opening for a few hours and we jumped at the chance to escape our entrapment. We headed north at 8pm and drove through the HUGE forests fire that had crossed the road ahead of us . The ridges on both sides of the road were burning, more choking smoke. It took almost 2 hours of very limited visibility driving to emerge on the north side of the blaze, it was a huge relief to put the fires behind us. We spent the night on the roadside exhausted with several other RV fire refugees. We are now in the Northern Rockies.
