HOW IS THE SMOKE AND VISIBILITY AT MOOSE CREEK? THERE APPEARS TO BE A LARGE FIRE DOWNSTREAM ON THE SELWAY.

Not a lot of cameras in that area. But here is a cool resource of cameras might help a tad...

Wow! I thought the FAA webcam site was cool. That ALERTWest site is going to eat up a lot of my time.....

Moose Creek as of lunchtime today.

Thank you. I think I will not go there. Dick

IS THE CARETAKER STILL AT MOOSE CREEK? HOW IS THE SMOKE? PLANNING A TRIP THIS WEEKEND. THE WEATHER LOOKS GREAT. DICK

I flew over on October 1. From just above Moose creek on the Selway all the way up Moose creek, and both north and west for 25 to 40 miles was socked in solid undercast. Not sure how high the bottoms were, but I did not see any hole big enough that I wanted to drop through to take a look. I was at 10,500, tops looked to be about 6000 to 6500, only glimpses of Fish Lake through a few small holes. Definitely no smoke.

I call it METAR MODE. No big deal

MY EYESIGHT REQUIRES BIGGER LETTERS. I AM NOT SHOUTING. BECAUSE OF THE EXTENSIVE BURNING, MOOSE CREEK WILL NOT BE AS IT WAS FOR ANOTHER 30 YEARS. THEY DID SAVE THE RANGER STATION WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN REBUILT. THEY CANNOT REPLACE THE TREES.
