Years ago on one of my cross country trips, i specifically asked them at flight services if the wildfires were an issue for VFR flights. They said no. Well, that was a lie. As well ad them never mentioning that the farmers were tilling their fields. Combine the 2 and the visibility was spotty at best. Smoke and dust combined upwards and had yours truly getting ready to put it down and fly another day.
