For the first time this season we have some visible smoke near the Tahoe Basin; from near my house I can see a finger of smoke from the "Dove Fire" on the outskirts of Sonora out over Desolation Wilderness, the smoke staying just the other side of the Sierra crest for now.  A segment of SR 108 near Sonora has been closed this afternoon because of that one.
