[AT] vapor locking

[John Hall]

The smoke was horrible Thurs. I left the house that morning and was afraid 
something was on fire. I rode around the farm checking things out. When I 
got to work and could still smell it I realized it was the wildfire. Then 
the smoke showed up about mid-morning---looked like fog!
