Air Quality Alert issued July 20 at 1:14PM PDT by NWS Pendleton OR
Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has issued an Air Quality Advisory until 4 PM PDT Wednesday. For the Air Quality Advisory, stagnant air conditions will trap smoke and other air pollutants near the ground where people breathe. Check with your local health or air agency for current restrictions on woodstove use. There are often exceptions for those who use wood exclusively to heat their homes and those with limited income. People can take the following precautions to protect their health: * Follow local burn restrictions to prevent deteriorating air quality. * Avoid strenuous outdoor activity in smoky conditions. * People with heart or lung problems and young children are especially vulnerable. These people should stay indoors while smoke levels are high. * Use certified High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters in indoor heating ventilation, cooling, and air purification systems. * Avoid using wood-burning stoves and other sources of indoor smoke if possible.

About
Dougherty Campground is a small, primitive campground situated in an open pine forest and grassland near the northern boundary of the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area. The setting provides a quiet, lightly-used basecamp for exploring the surrounding Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. The campground features 12 sites: 4 accommodate tents or trailers while 8 are tent-only. Each site has a fire ring, picnic table, and parking space. Vault toilets are provided, but there is no potable water, so campers must bring their own supply. The campground uses a self-service fee station. Primary activities include camping, hiking, picnicking, berry picking, and wildlife viewing. The area sees significant use during fall hunting season. Quiet hours are enforced from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. The campground is not maintained during the off-season.
