The fires were somewhere in Appalachia, what we got was the drift smoke. The air was thick and the sun was orange and it was horrible.

The worst smoke in NM generally comes from fires in AZ. Having to be out in it for any length of time is like smoking multiple packs of cigarettes in terms of damage. Ugh.
