Still a beautiful pic!

We haven’t been able to see much of the cascades for the last week or so over here. Usually have a really nice view of them from the valley. Can’t imagine what it’s like over there.

Visibility here is way less than 300 yards.  Sucks......but appears this is the new norm.  Wenatchee's old slogan....."300 Days of sunshine."  New slogan...."200 days of sunshine and 100 days of smoke."

Fires from BC. Check out http://cliffmass.blogspot.com/, I really like his scientific approach.

Lived here for almost 48 years and Ive never seen anything like this. I'm all about "manning up" when it comes to weather but this is just nuts. My poor neighbor who has COPD has been on oxygen for the last 2 weeks. Poor guy.

How does the smoke affect the animals behavior? I know when it’s hot they hange out in deep cool timber. But, when it’s hot and Smokey how does it affect them?

It's so smoky the temp at my place only got up to 75 today, my son had 95 in northern Idaho where it isn't as smoky. The turkeys and deer seem to be acting more or less the same, I see them everyday around my place. They have to eat and drink!
