Our local meteorologist says all the haze we see is smoke from the wildfires out west, Oregon, Washington, Montana and anywhere else. I've been pretty skeptical because that smoke would have to cross the Rockies, great plains, and great lakes. Surely it would have dissipated by now. Driving home today, it certainly looked like smoke having watched many sunsets filtered through the smoke of our own wildfires. Our sunsets have been absolutely amazing for the past few days. Thoughts?

Wow! That's crazy. Our wildfires are so small in comparison. When I was in college, I joined and trained with a wildland fire crew from central PA. I was hoping it would be my ticket west. It wasn't. I did get to go to North and South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. It was a good experience either way.

The smoke just looks like a constant fog here. Our wildfire season is done. There will be a few small fires in the fall, then lots of fires in the spring. with a mostly hardwood forest, the fires here are not very intense.

I could see it yesterday looked like it was hazy from humidity.

It was so bad here yesterday that instead of frying the fish for supper last night, I hung them outside to smoke them instead,
I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

Montana is on fire I think in all the different forest, red lodge fire is going stronger again. But don't worry he pledge not guilty. Idaho is on fire up where we just camped a month ago.
Let me sugar coat this

I did get to go to North and South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. It was a good experience either way. I was on the nepa crew for 89 and 90. Idaho the first year and California the 2nd. Almost went to smoke jumper school but my now wife talked me out of it. Got paid well and almost died twice. Should have left that 2nd part out when I told her.
