Thankfully last they knew their house is OK.
Seeing the scope of devastation I'm soooo thankful they are OK and situated a few miles from the fire, I've been on the phone with them a couple times a day since the winds kicked in... I sure felt helpless being this far away, but I know Aaron and Maria are cautious and would have bugged out with their dogs if necessary.
One of the side trips we took last year while visiting was a hike up into the Eaton canyon.
I get chills now knowing that area is completely burned.
Eaton canyon hike April of last year:
Aaron, Maria and Charlie the grand-dog
This brings back memories of Lahaina, it's going to be a very long time before anything in those areas seem "normal"
If any of the LA fires were intentionally set I too hope the perpetrators are either caught and jailed for a good long time or they perished in the nightmare they created. |
I was just up hiking in that exactly trail just this past Sunday. Full of trees, shady and a beautiful day only to find Red Flag Day that evening. Where we live, the street are super narrow and windy and parking is allow on only one side of the street, so fire trucks can get through. When the Santa Ana kicks up, we aren't allow to park there.
Alhambra will be safe and no fire. That's 4 fwy exits from us, and we are there in So Pasadena and Alhambra often.
