Just when I thought we would get lucky and escape the wildfire season without a local large fire...well two fires 10 miles west of Lolo, MT "blew up" yesterday thanks to high winds. It is very eerie driving home from work seeing a large smoke column towering over the Bitterroot Mountains 8,000 feet plus in elevation somewhat close to your residence. It's also personal because I have been to the areas burning for wildlife watching field trips.Quickly, it has become very addicting finding and reading internet coverage...what's happening? This morning conditions are very smoky (video). Not exactly feeling distress, however what will the day(s) bring?
