Just thought of something--it's crazy to think that the plateau I'm on in my avatar pic may be gone. Weird.
We'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers, Doug! I haven't seen any posts from sladnas/Mark in a while.

Justin and his buddy went out to check on the fires by Redhawk, but somehow ended up driving north. I guess someone started a fire off of Clinton Keith (a few miles north of us). They've got water drops on it right now. What is wrong with people? :?:
SD Fire: La Costa, Elfin Forest and Black Mt. Trails all safe from fire! For now.. Hey Guys- I just took a drive up Leucadia Blvd. to Rancho Santa Fe Rd, and I got "eyes on" La Costa, Elfin and Black Mt, and they're all fire free for the time being. :bang: Bad News for Noble: Harris fire near Cleveland National Forest Posted @ 1:18 PM The Harris fire is now burning near a wilderness area in the Cleveland National Forest. An official near the area said the fire is just southwest of where the Pine Creek wilderness meets the Hauser wilderness, near Lyons Valley Road.
I just heard on KOGO, though that due to the fires near Pine Valley (to the south) earlier this year hasn't left much fuel for the Harris fire. Apparently the city is okay, and the trail itself is north of the town of Pine Valley. I think the Harris fire is still SW from there.
The fire earlier this summer was south of the 8 in that region. The fire would still have a ways to go to hit Noble, but I guess it's possible.

He's ok. I emailed him earlier today. Has anyone considered the possibility of the fire in Pendleton hitting the nuclear power station? *sh1ts pants at the thought*
