Anyone who lives out west knows that late summer and fall is wildfire season. Smoke, sometimes from distant fires, can create unfavorable conditions for outdoor recreation especially for people who suffer from respiratory ailments. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) just released an experimental mapping product that is useful for looking at current smoke conditions.

Ever wonder where meteors come from? Meteors are formed when the earth passes through the debris field of passing comets. Find a dark patch of sky next week (August 10-12) for some prime viewing of the Perseids meteor shower. To learn more, check out the awesome visualization at: www.meteorshowers.org/view/Perseids

We are saddened to hear of the many acres of public land burned and homes lost in the Pine Nut range by the recent Numbers fire. As of the latest report, it seems like the Pinyon Trail was spared from significant damage. Please stay away from the area for your own safety and to allow emergency responders to do their jobs. The Douglas County Community & Senior Center is accepting donations of snacks (please make sure these are individually packaged) and East Fork Fire Protection District (contact at eastforkfire.org) has a victim fund that can accept donations.
