a number of friends in the santa cruz mountains have had to evac, as well as a buddy i used to race with from carmel valley. scary stuff.

there is 2 fires, one about 30 miles from me that has smoked my area out completely. thankfully no structures threatened there. the other is way up the hill from me that is remote that has been burning for nearly a week, but at a slow, smoldering pace. they are watching it so we are told. the smoke has cooled things down a bunch, but id take the sun if the fire was out. what has my neighbors and i concerned is many of the local CALFIRE air attack resources that are stationed in columbia near us have been sent elsewhere.

hope you place stays safe.
