Planes landing to the east would be landing into a generally westerly
flowing wind (direction would be stated as easterly, since wind direction is
stated as the direction from which it comes. I presume the Range did mean
wind flowing to the SW, a NE wind.

Thad said that the friendly ranger said:

...is the clouds").  He even added that the winds "generally" turn to the 
SW at night, and any leftover smoke "should" drain into the West Clear 
Creek basin.  Given our site is higer, we "should" be OK...


I'll ask Brian directly: do winds in northern Arizona really turn to the 
southwest at night?  Why do planes down here always turn around at 
sunset, and take off and land facing east at night?
