Down on the Main Salmon River at mouth of the Middle Fork today. Have not seen the forest fire smoke hang in here until October before. Hopefully, heavy rain or snow coming soon to clear the air. How is the smoke situation elsewhere? Saw a few chukars today and lots of bighorns (ewes and lambs). Found a few snakes still out and about. Jack

Interesting Jack. Are the fires out? I was just commenting to someone up here today that the air seems to have cleared?

We got a light shot of rain almost a week ago, Osky, and the smoke cleared noticeably. Now, seems to have returned in full force. I'm assuming we're getting smoke from local fires that're still going; not the long distance stuff from Oregon/California.

I just heard a bit ago that there's a fire that just started up in the Little Belt mtns in the middle fork area and they've evacuated the area it wasn't to long ago I was camping up there . The smoke plume can be seen in Great Falls but not from here at the house.

Did you put your campfire out?

Of course I did I pack a 5 gal bucket a shovel and a axe with a chain saw just in case it's needed
Don't worry boco I'm not going to argue with you I was taught not to pick on the less fortunate and unknowing .

Ugh! Beartooth, that smoke looks pretty thick. Have you had it linger into October before?

Chad those pictures remind me of back when I was working clearing power line right of ways during the fire at Yellowstone NP
The 3 mountain ranges around here are well hid behind the smoke today .
