Mark- That sucks man, glad you got out. Come on down to Hillcrest if you need a place to go (I can pick you guys up if need be). Fire has played a major role in my life these last two months...

Mark, if the fire takes the bike, let me know. Can you say "fire victim discount"?

So, Lake Wolfard (east of Daley) has been evacuated and a VERY large and fast moving fire is sweeping west thru the area.
Goodbye Daley Ranch and Valley Center.

This is insane. Downtown/Uptown is pretty smoke free right now, if anyone wants to get out of the stench.

There are some seriously BIG dollar estates out there. Not to mention some of the best road riding I have ever done.
Beautiful old growth trees everywhere.

Luckeee...

Immediately overhead it looks OK here, but there is a LOT of crap in the air. It's pretty brown/grey outside the windows here... Actually, looks MUCH worse than it did this morning. Pretty much looks foggy, but it's not.

The 94 is closed up to at Otay Lakes Rd eastbound. I heard that they have at least one helicopter running to help contain it. Not much else news about that yet. The schools are still in session, so I guess that could be seen as a good sign.

The Fire Chief said in the news conference regarding Chula Vista, that the fire is heading West towards the Eastern part of Chula Vista/ Otay Lakes at the current rate. Hope for a wind change or it dies down so we can get some air support.
