[Vision2020] Smoke North Of Moscow too.

[Joel Hamilton]

John

While the smoke looked like it was just north of Moscow Mountain, it was 
actually coming from east of Potlatch.  It was a controlled burn of several 
large grass-seed fields near where Gary Morris used to live, and another 
field just south of Princeton.  The air quality was very bad in the town of 
Potlatch.  The following is a picture of the grass field fire near 
Princeton, looking south from the parking lot of the Princeton Post Office 
at 2pm this afternoon.  Why the state allows them to burn when the fire 
danger is as high as it is now I will never understand.

I also include a photo of the remnants of the Flannigan Creek fire east of 
Viola taken at about 8:30 this morning.
