Standing Yonder on Standing Indian
When we reached the top of Standing Indian Mt we could see a small bit of smoke off in the distance. By the time we left about an hour later the whole sky was filled with haze from a nearby forest fire. Spent night tenting near a shelter glad that the crowds have started to die down. It seems that some of the other hikers have either slowed down or already given up on their thru hikes.

We were able to spread out our tent footprint to sit on the grass and talked with thru-hiker Mike McKay who was videotaping the view and the smoke. He'll be posting his videos when he finishes his hike at "Head North".
