I know this is not the typical topic for a post but I wanted to send good vibes and good luck to our fellow cougaphiles out West during this astonishing fire season.
I know WCCC is in Oregon not that far away from the orange skies and I wish them well.
As if a pandemic wasn’t enough! 
Don from WCCC has really bad smoke in his area and fire not far away. I think Brian Aust is also close. Most all of Washington, Oregon Idaho and California are under a Red Flag condition. We have been told no fires at all with the exception of gas and charcoal BBQs. Here where I am at it is extremely dry. The smoke from fires is fairly heavy, but not like Don has.
Be safe out there guys and thank your local Fire Fighters.
We have 2 fires burning north and south of us.
We just had 2 days of clean air. Now we’re blanketed with over cast smoke and a red sun.
Very scary watching the news coverage - also hope everyone is safe.
We we are getting deluged here in the east.

We got some snow here in Denver this week, and it helped put out at least one massive fire, near Fort Collins.
We had a coupe on the western slope as well. California is getting massively burned this year, I think I heard 500 square miles to date burned in Ca.
