Post by: kurisingal on September 10, 2020, 09:59:33 PM: Has anyone gone to the Mazama area this week? How're the conditions there? Too smoky?

Take a look at some of the smoke forecast websites before you come. As I'm sure you are aware it doesn't take much of a wind shift to potentially change the air quality dramatically. For perspective from Winthrop I can currently see Mt. Gardner but there have been a few times this week where visibility was bad enough that I couldn't
