Here's a video of some guys on Mt Baring yesterday. Scary since we were on the next ridge just two days ago.

 

Anyway, hope your area is ok! 406 is bad. We are only 170 here.

Serious question:

Those of you breathing smoke.  If you are retired, have a camper on wheels, why aren't you elsewhere?

Can't be healthy.

In our case because there's a big fire nearby that may come this way.

We ,with our daughters,have been at a rented cabin across form our old one in Dorrington.

We came up Tuesday during the 112* temp.Next day the smoke started to show up buy

Friday the air quality was above 200.Almost thought about cutting pour stay short but buy

next morning the wind picked up and the air was back to the healthy zone.

 

Today there is a little down in the Stanislaus river canyon but air is still healthy. With temps in high 70*s

it's very comfortable.

 

Glad to see the hot cell move away.

Good news, bad news is that the wind picked up and air quality greatly improved, now 130. Unfortunately it probably moved it to the Tahoe basin and Carson Valley. Just checked, Alpine Meadows is currently a horrifying 635 with Carson City 250.

Some years we'll have fires north south west and east and even the other western states are on fire. Not always easy to avoid the smoke. We're fortunate this year. No fires to the West yet.

Air quality bad again in the Dorrington area.Glad we are headed for the home today.

You were right Ski,Tahoe/Carson Valley getting slammed with all the smoke.

Timing is not good to leave.  Just got back from Pantanal Brazil for a 4 week trip.  Sorting and culling images from trip and tiring to meet deadline for two photo contest on Sept 15.  Also catching up on chores and commitments from being gone. Not good for me with my vocal cord health, it is not good to be breathing the air. So stay inside as a hostage with air purifier on and central air.

To much smoke even here in the NE.  When it hit this time it was the first real smoke we had this year and it literally stopped me for the last few days from loading my truck for a run up to Warner Valley and points east-guess was not  ready for the smoke again?  Any way rain is on the way today,  so I'll finish up packing and try for Wednesday !

and Walker/Coleville/Topaz. The smoke always ends up here. 260, visibility is less than a mile. Dusk all day. I feel sleepy.
