I don't think you understand, Jordan. The "exit immediately" means the areas listed, regardless of how you enter.

Actually, Alpine Rose, you dont quite understand how the trail systems work or where I am going. Doesnt say anything about suiattle river trail, buck creek PASS trail, miners ridge trail, PCT south of suiattle pass, flower dome trail, or liberty cap trail. So tell me again AR what dont I understand about it? Obviously you have not been to this area before. Wasnt planning on coming in the suiattle side then dropping way into the phelps creek or buck creek basins. You know there are other trails up there. Duh

Another smoke reported last night in the Okanogan Highlands. We shall see if all the work pays off. That area has been logged and has had prescribed fire here and there so may not be as volatile as wilderness areas.
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

Here is a picture from yesterday at about 4700 feet on a ridge above the Mountain Loop Highway. This was taken looking west. The haze was so thick looking east into the Monte Cristo Range and north towards the Glacier Peak Wilderness that I didn’t even bother taking a photo. We could barely see the outline of the closest peak to us. We are postponing a planned backpacking trip until we can actually see where we are going.

Hurricane Ridge?  
Since I have no expectations of forgiveness, I don't do it in the first place. That loop hole needs to be closed to everyone.

I took a media tour of the Maple Fire yesterday. Fire is 35% contained and is moving slowly. It is burning in the underbrush. Fire will be contained to North, South and West. Fire will be allowed to burn to the east until it goes out.
Lena Lake trail, Hamma Hamma Cabin and all the campgrounds should be safe. Even Jefferson Ridge does not look too bad at the moment.. just a few patches of torched trees.
They have done some backburning and were able to save most of the trees and burn just the underbrush in the back burn area. A sprinkler line has been set up above and to the South of Elk Lakes.

Dry tstorms passed through the Wenatchee area this a.m. not enough to wake me up but it woke up my wife and got the dogs fired up. On radar heading NNE through Chelan - Pateros.

Modeling and NWS thought that such activity would be just in NE Oregon and perhaps in the Blue Mountains. I could see this essentially a train of showers and thunderstorms moving up along the Sierra Crest yesterday morning and then into Eastern Oregon late in the day. God, I hope it didn't hit the Cascades.
Up to 48 hour view of recent lightning
It seems certain there would be a multitude of new starts in Eastern Northeastern Oregon and likely the Blues. Nevada also got lit up yesterday.
There is another risk Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday as another more or less dry trough is likely to develop just SW of Astoria. It could rain at the end of the period but by then it would be too late to stop any fires that might develop.
