Undertoad, as for the amount of smoke, there are at least half a dozen LARGE wildfires burning up and down the Bitterroot (to the west of me about 2 miles) and Sapphire (to the east about 30-ish miles maybe?--there are no direct connecting east-west highways near here that I'm aware of) Mountain ranges. And a new one just a few miles west of us. We're not to the point of "worse air quality than a bad day in Beijing", but that has happened several of the 13 years I've been in this valley.
The flip side is just as rare and entirely glorious. One year, "fire season" consisted of one tiny fire in July, extinguished the same day it started, and one tiny fire in a very dry November that was also out by nightfall on the day it started.
