I would be concerned about the wildfires right now.
Cool to hear from someone who's ridden the route. Not many people have.
Temps have cooled the last couple days and now there's even rain in the forecast. I've been prepared for hot/dry, but I might have to contend with hot/dry combined with cold/wet.
I'll be watching the wildfire situation, but even more so the air quality. The last few days it's been in the "good" range for all the towns en route. That can change quickly with the wind. There are active wildfires south, but (as of today) nothing close enough to be a concern. It is a tinderbox out there, though.
