I couldn't see Whitehorse from Trapper yesterday. It was clear to the east. I'll have to post a photo later. Coming back from Kachess Lake today (swim! ) where all of the mountains were obscured, there was a big ugly brown smoke cloud coming in from the south.
The "smoke storm" hits us in the beginning of August, like clockwork. I've made it a point to get all my best hikes with the views I've most wanted to see done by the end of July, and I hope you have too.
Hopefully it won't be as bad this year.

Ug. Thanks wildernessed. 85 miles away. Wonder if that's what I was seeing from Kachess?
Air purifiers might be a good investment, folks.
Thunder storms in the forecast next week.
Seattle's particular matter count is way up, compared to normal not to last August. The sky is still blue.

I'm only aware of three somewhat significant wildfires in WA right now - the Devore, the Left Hand, and now the one SE of Keller on the Colville Reservation. There's slight haze in the puget sound area but nothing really bad. Pretty tame when you consider how bad it was the past few years.

Despite the fact the local air quality monitors say we are in the "Good" zone, the smoke in Spokane today was noticeable; not just haze but odor too.

Yup, it is smoky on and off but nothing close to what we had last year---yet. I'm not complaining.
Came back from SW Warshington yesterday and Yakima was bad, Ephrata had a bit, but here was OK.
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

I was on Alta in the Alpine lake Wilderness yesterday and could barely see Mt Rainier through the haze.
I may not be the smartest, I may not be the strongest, but I don't want to be. I only want to be the best I can be.

It's getting more smokey every day over here. Small fires all around that will likely only be growing. Storms are a brewin' too.

I guess the Devore fire was making more smoke today. This morning was not good air wise, but it cleared a bit in the afternoon. A big air tanker will be working the Williams fire tomorrow according to a source. Dunno about the Canadian fires.
My thermometer said we hit 107 here. It is located on the north side of the house in the shade, but there is a concrete slab below so it may exaggerate things.
