In 1980, very fine volcanic ash from the initial Mount Saint Helens eruption fell on boats in Essex, CT, so I would say yes. Maybe in quantities not discernible without devices, but I definitely think the possibility exists. Particulate matter can be carried long long distances in the atmosphere.

There is a visible trail of smoke from Napa all the way to Mexico.

But if you weren’t bothered by the wildfires in the Pacific Northwest this summer, Napa/Sonoma ain’t going to be a problem.

Yes

the particulates maybe. But for the odor of smoke to reach a level detectable on the East Coast, those of us living on the left coast must surely perish.

We experienced haze in Illinois from the fires for a few days about a month ago. I’m interested to see what responses you get.
