Default Re: The Non-Stop Smell of Wildfires

In order to get to Atlantic City I have to drive on the Garden State Parkway.

The Garden State runs through the Pine Barrens ( home of the legendary New Jersey Devil.

A few years back the Pine Barrens caught on fire due to brush fires. It smelled of smoke and fire for a few years following the fires.

Albertsons? That's a little more than two miles east of the Strip. I just came back from there and there was a definite haze obscuring the Strip.

The only time it's every been completely obscured from my old place (one mile east of Strip) was during a sand storm.

I grew up in the interior of Alaska and the wildfires during the summer are legendary.

Near Fairbanks.

What were you in McGrath for? Flew out there once; little town on some river whose name I can't remember.

Very rare around here, but I remember this one. I was living about 30 miles NE of the fires and could remember the smell.
