PCT is open according to the last inciweb update. And that section is not listed as closed on the PCTA website either.

Drove home from Lewiston, Idaho today and the smoke started at Wilbur and got worse as I neared Omak. Omak is socked in big time and there was/is a brush fire about 3 miles to the north.
I may restock my trailer and take off again.
What's especially fun about sock puppets is that you can make each one unique and individual, so that they each have special characters. And they don't have to be human––animals and aliens are great possibilities

No wonder. Omak (and Twisp) air quality is at the "hazardous" level.

My wife and I spent 4 days at Ocean Shores this week to get away from Wenatchee smoke (and celebrate our 40th anniversary). We had a beach cabin and could hardly see the water, so never walked the beach the entire time. But had a nice relaxing time while there. As we were leaving a nice breeze was blowing and we could actually see boats/ships out in the water.

Congratulations! HTT, you and your wife. That's quite a milestone.
Re: your comment. Was this due to smoke too? It's hard to get away from this stuff. ~z

Thanks folks!
This photo was taken with my phone from the deck of our cabin. You can see the haze. One morning we woke up and could barely tell there were structures on the spit across the water. But we are glad we went. Otherwise it would have been a missed opportunity.

The map is showing a couple orange dots east of Kindy creek near buckindy that I hadn't noticed before. Any info on that area?

From the Wenatchee World| Quote: | | Updated, 2:45 p.m. Sunday: PLAIN — A Level 1 fire advisory notification is in place residents in the Plain area due wind changes on the Cougar Creek Fire north of Entiat.
Winds have shifted directions and are currently pushing the 36,000-plus-acre fire to the southwest, according to Chelan County Emergency Management.
Areas included in the Level 1 notices are:
Chumstick Road north to Merry Canyon (both sides of the road)
Merry Canyon; Second Creek and Moon Canyon
Plain, Ponderosa Pines, Plain River Road and other nearby subdivisions
Chiwawa Loop Road to include Chiwawa River Pines
All areas from Fish Lake and Lake Wenatchee to Coles Corner
Crews on Sunday are working the fire’s western and southern edges, looking to prevent spread to the west, according to the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. |
I noticed those hot spots that are west of the Entiat Summit Road, especially a couple around Sugarloaf. Whether false positive or not, sounds like they are taking them seriously. Visible satellite and Fish Lake weather station confirm that the wind is coming from the NE, although gentle. Keeping fingers crossed for Plain and the Chumstick, where many reside.

I really hope this is just the intensity of the smoke plume and the fire did not actually jump Lake Chelan ...
