Ugh, that looks terrible. The whole area looked like a tinderbox ready to go when I drove through a couple weeks ago. I hope this doesn't end up too bad.
 
They have held the fire just over the county line heading NE..... has not made the Highway yet. Light snowfall the other day helped greatly. Brooks Lake is still at a Level evac tho.
 
As of this morning 9/3 US 26/287 between the E Boundary of Grand Teton Nat'l Park and Lava Mountain Lodge. Hasnt hit highway yet, burning mostly towards the NW. CDT trail is rerouted

Thanks @Bob . I have been watching this one, since they keep closing the highway.
It looks like they should get some rain today-or got some rain, but just a little. With the wind, it might do the opposite of help.
 
Looks like I won't be heading to Dubois to fish the Wind R. this year. Smoke here in Pinedale isn't bad but getting worse. Just got back from 5 days in southern Winds. All clear until yesterday. Also got lucky with smoke and weather the prior week for another 5 day loop. But air quality and weather are changing so figuring out what to do for remaining 2 weeks.
 
Any Goldens?
Smoke wise....
Beartooths look relatively good
The S Winds still look good
 
Haven't fished at all yet. Took nephew on 55m loop then 3 friends for another 45m, both out of Big Sandy. Only 4d decent weather window Fri-Mon (supposedly) -too short for golden lakes from Pinedale side.:(
