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
Mottet Campground is a small, tranquil primitive campground located at high elevation in the Umatilla National Forest. Situated along the historic Kendall-Skyline Road, it serves as a basecamp for hikers exploring the Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness, with several trailheads in close proximity including the Mottet/Sinks Trail offering 4.5 miles of non-motorized access through mountain meadows and old-growth forest. The campground features six campsites with a vault toilet and the notable amenity of potable drinking water sourced from a mountain spring. This high-elevation location provides a secluded atmosphere away from crowds, with light usage typical throughout the season. The forest road access means this campground is best suited for tent camping and smaller vehicles rather than large RVs.
