We're getting a lot of smoke from those fires here. Our normally blue sky looks overcast, but it's smoke.

It looks like our family camping spot in Alpine Co., CA got torched this year. Maps of the fire show it burning right up to the edge of the lakes we camp on, and
all the campgrounds down below that are ashes now. The damage will likely take a very long time to recover. There had not been a fire back there since I was a
small child, and it didn't get near the lakes, so there was a lot of burnable fuel for this fire - not good for trees. If a fire goes through quickly, the trees can survive.
They half ruined this some years ago when they paved the road to the lakes, but it was still an OK place to camp - just a lot more people now.
