Members in Montana, Idaho and Washington

In SE Idaho, it is like a fog every day. The smoke is coming from the western Montana fires near Missoula. Really bad forest management and grazing practices have led to a really good supply of burning material. It is really dry and we have have had little to no rain in July and August, but had huge snowpack from the winter so a lot of grass grew from that and a wet spring. This is a crazy year. The schools in the area have started keeping the kids indoors all day because of the poor air quality. It is very bad, but as you see, many in other parts of the country have it much worse. Thank you for your concern, though.
