For those of you who are traveling into Montana and Idaho this summer....be aware Fire season is just ramping up. Check for TFR's along your route and be ready for some poor visibility especially flying into the evening sun.
this was westbound at 8500msl this morning. So the sun was at my back and viz wasn't too bad. but we haven't had many local fires yet either.
at 11500 to clear a TFR ahead. Mission Mtns in the distance.
Once past the TFR, I dropped to 8500 and squirted thru Jocko Pass, hugging the Missions before dropping into St Ignatius (52S).
52S had free huckleberry pancakes, B&G's, ham breakfast. 40+planes and many more town folks came out. I think there were 4 or 5 RV's, plus met VAF member "deek" in his LongEz.
Huckleberry pancakes...Check..... ready for departure
anyway be careful out there, it'll probably get worse as the summer plugs along.
