(ack) I grew up on Monticello. But when I was there, we went to Irvine High.

Keep us updated

Looks like there are some houses being threatened and Whiting. They are doing a report on KTLA from the Walmart Parking lot over by Whiting. Be safe...

I think this map is the most up-to-date. fyi, the "disp" line of little circles is the fire teams attempting to head it off.

that would suck- from whiting it could jump up to the luge/stantiago truck trail area.

The news just reported that the Santiago fire was deliberately set. They closed down my offices in Lake Forest off of Bake and Dimension. The picture is what my coworker took off of Bake and Commercenter.

I just heard the same thing on ABC 7. Not sure which section though. Whiting is quite large and encompasses more than the sections we normally ride.

damn. and I was going to take my newbie friend there this weekend.

edit: isn't most of whiting not road/trail friendly? or have roads at all?

double edit: according to their website, they're closed:
