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
Turkey Flat Forest Camp is one of several small campgrounds located along the beautiful Wild and Scenic Lostine River in Oregon's Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. Nestled in a cool fir and pine forest at 5,300 feet elevation, this rustic campground offers just three sites, making it an ideal destination for those seeking solitude and a true backcountry experience. The campground serves as a gateway to the Eagle Cap Wilderness, attracting summer campers, hikers, and hunters exploring the Lostine Canyon. Each site is equipped with a picnic table, fire ring, and parking spot. Amenities are minimal: vault toilets are available, but there is no potable water, so campers must bring their own supply. Sites are $10 per night, payable at the self-service fee station. Quiet hours are enforced from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. The campground operates under a 14-day stay limit within any 30-day period, consistent with Wallowa-Whitman National Forest regulations.
