Check the status of fires in the West before hitting the road.

Coyote Chris is on his way to the Osh Kosh (WI) EAA Event and asked me to post that there is a fire close to Miles City, MT. With a quick check, I noticed a fire close to Yellowstone East Entrance as well. Fire problems are affecting roads in Canada as well.

Just saying that it may be prudent to check your route for fire operations/smoke before you go.

Be safe and enjoy!
 
I saw a lot of aircraft in the distance dropping fire retardant on my way up from NatSTOC to ND, then west to WA, then south to San Jose, CA where I am visiting my brother.
 
Just got back from Alaska and we rode in a smokey haze all the way from Whitehorse thru Glacier and Yellowstone and across Wyoming. Also many road closures and detours in Canada.

Thanks! I will try it....
 
We had smoke up at Kaslo BC but now here in Spokane, things are clear......but if the wind changes, we are doomed.
Russia fights Siberian wild fires with super tankers cause they are very remote, but Canada doesnt have the resourses
to fight major remote fires, so these will burn till winter.....I hear anything from 250 to 1000 fires are going up there.
Its smokey in Kaslo again. Here are the road closures in BC.... :(
