My son and I were coming out of Death Valley when he got on the CB to tell me I had smoke coming out from underneath my rig. Pulled over and couldn't find anything coming out the tail pipe or from the brakes. Took off and again he radioed that a large amount of smoke was coming out of the rig. This time I crawled underneath and discovered that a fair amount of brush that had accumulated on top of my skid plate had blown back against the exhaust pipe. We scraped it out and it erupted into flames. Lesson learned; check for such materials if you've been driving through dry brush!
