[pct-l] Western States 100 run cancled+health hazard to thrus?

[Ned Tibbits]

Can anyone on this List determine for those hikers out on the trail under 
all this smoke whether or not hiking this year in the affected areas will be 
hazardous to their health?

With the Western States 100 outright cancelled due to health concerns, among 
others, are our thrus in any respiratory danger out there?

Should they be hiking with some sort of wet bandanas over their faces?
