I know it's been a trying week working on the chopper, but I don't need a smoke. Lol! The forest fires in or near the arrowhead of Minnesota are sending all of their smoke down this way. This morning, everything smelled like a brush fire & there was a yellowish-grey haze everywhere. This afternoon, it smelled of burning rubbish. Some poor folks must have lost their homes. :v( The moon tonight was a smokey, eerie shade of red.
The advisorys page is ever changing, so I don't think the link below will work for too long. I copied the smoke advisory for everyone to read after the link is no longer available.
