odies dad Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 It has been almost that bad around here. Depending on which way the wind is blowing, many days you can smell the smoke. You can look at the sun as a big orange ball. Hope all is well with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken98k Posted July 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Most people think off Alaska as a pristine place, well it's not. The air is bad in the summer due to forest fires and bad it the winter due to out-door wood fired boilers and the water is bad due to mining and oil development, A guy just can't win it seems. http://www.newsminer.com/news/local_news/fairbanks-air-quality-hazardous-amid-wildfire-smoke-activities-canceled/article_d92df69e-2507-11e5-8898-73c477618aa7.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gun Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Doesn't sound like the Alaska I remember from the very early 80's. 1980's that is . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
