NOAA and the NIFC ,National weather service and national Interagency Fire Center, have sites regarding lightening safety and large forest fire predictions for this summer. Specifically for the areas we will be riding through on the way to Spokane. Above average fire hazards exist which may mean low visibilities and the need for alternate routes. A check with these agencies via weather radio may be helpful for those camping and without the normal media news.
