Farm

This would be the view from the funny little cabin that's a few images down from this one. The sky shows the stagnant air problem that plagues the Klamath Basin several times per year. It's especially bad when there is a wild fire, or in fall/winter when residents outside city limits are burning wood in their fireplaces. This can reach the "Unhealthy" level for weeks at a time.

City residents are not allowed to use their fireplaces, but it doesn't help much, since the smoke doesn't know where the city boundaries are. You might ask why the County doesn't have this regulation. Supposedly, it's because there are many remote, homestead-type properties that have no other means of warming themselves, or sometimes even heating water. I don't buy that and think it's an outdated assumption (propane! solar panels!) in most cases.
