Two weeks ago, I got out to MD. It was a hot, humid day - so I waited till 6:00pm. I got tired very quickly and bagged it after 1.5 hours. I could hardly breathe. Then when I got back home, saw on local weather that smoke was effecting our air quality again! I think it was at about 130. Anyway, I'm in the sensitive to
smoke group. From now on, I'll be checking the air quality levels closely.
Here is some info that might be useful on subject. HH!
