Montana's Sky

Montana is the "Big Sky Country." Unfortunately, most of this summer, it has been covered with smoke. It has also covered our cars with ash. This has been a bad fire season, with many fires still raging. We have not been in any danger where we live, but the skies sure have been hazy 24 hours a day with smoke. If you are interested in knowing more. I found a great website, with information being updated frequently. The address is http://www.inciweb.org/state/27/ . It tells you where the fire is, how much the fire is contained, and how many arces have burned. You do need to realize that Montana is mostly rural that means that the fires have not done a lot of property damage. It also means that very few lives have been lost, unfortunately, most of them were the fire fighters, themselves.

We have had a lot of fires here. It isn't fun. I hope things get better, and you can enjoy your beautiful state more.
