Air quality

You wouldn't think of Montana when you think of air quality.  However, this time of year is also fire season. In fact, we had a small (20 acres) one just over the hill behind my house. As the sun rises this morning there is a kind of golden glow to everything, which would be attractive were it not for everything smelling like a campfire. It's also a tad hot during the day, mid-eighties, but it cools into the 40's at night.

The 'view' to the south, towards the Highlands, barely visible.

  1. I hear you about the smell. That too is a negative from forest or vegetation fires.

  2. I have a memory of Montana fires. We crossed at Shelby and headed east. The fires were to the west, but there was still a smoke or haze in the air.

  3. I can smell that same thing here. It seems like there are fires everywhere.

  4. That's difficult - forest fires really scare me.
