Knock on wood, Boise has stayed relatively smoke free this summer. A few days in August from a range fire in NV, but that’s been about it.

I watched most of the smoke from the Tobacco Roots drift South of me towards Bozeman.
Didn't feel too bad either.

This summer has been brutally dry and that’s saying something coming from Cheyenne. At least we had those afternoon storms part of the summer, nothing here. Wild!

No, that’s just the worst town in the northwest because they have the Ducks.

We've been incredibly lucky the lat two years. Normally Medford is in the running.

actually the only study I found said Medford was the winner. I just call BS.

For consistent air quality it's likely the winner. The winter inversions can be nasty. We've been lucky there the last two years too.
Drawback of living in a small round valley. Some folks call it the donut. Some folks use a less nice word.

We burned 2 million acres in Oregon last summer. About 10% of that this summer and now we’ve had a little rain. Been a much better year given it started off scary dry.

We were well above 300 AQI for a few weeks in late August/early September. Fires all around, didn't matter which way the wind was blowing. Want the wind to push out the smoke, but then the wind stirs up the fires, double edged sword.
