Haven’t see these AQI numbers in months. 🙏 #cleanair #nosmoke

No Yogi, nothing to eat here. #markleevillebears

New, updated uses TBD post-Fire. 😉 #tamarackfire

A bit smoky at the lake today. #dixiefire I guess. The #tamarackfire caused a bit of smoke in Markleeville this am but don’t think this smoke is from that fire. #toomanyfires

Our AAH sign got a bit roasted during the #tamarackfire
