SMOKE IN THE BITTERROOT

We have a number of forest fires burning in our area.  The biggest, The Mustang Complex, is mostly in Idaho near Lost Trail Pass, but the smoke is blowing this direction.  It is nearly 200K acres in size and is only 11% contained right now according to the Forest Service folks.  There are a number of fires still burning in the Bitterroot/Selway Primitive Area also.  To make a long story short, we have a lot of smoke in the air.  Click on a picture to enlarge.
