Fires

I heard the Redwoods were just fine but some of the highways leading up that way might be closed. Hwy 299 for instance is closed. You might need to call for current road closures to see what routes to take.

True true... but this is supposed to be an adventure... LOL (calling ahead isn't that adventurous) 😛

I chose HWY101 - for touristy reasons. It seems fine so far...



We were having quite the fire season our selves - until recently. For the past week it's been Thunder Storms and tornado's.... and a lot of hail.



One extreme to another.... 🙄

Ya, it was the thunder storms that gave us the fires.

Crazy... would you consider it an unusually high level of storms this season down there too?

Keep an eye on the Cal Fire website:

Federal Incidents in California

calfire doesn't list the fires being managed federally, but their map shows them.

There's also a link to the federally managed fires here



http://www.inciweb.org/



the inciweb site gets overloaded at times.

Check the second link. 😉 It links to inciweb for the fires in CA.

Thank you for the links... that's very usful intel. Which makes me happy... but on the other hand... that's a lot of fire. Makes me sad to see all that up in smoke.



This July we had a wheelin' trip down in southern Alberta, near a place called Pincher Creek. We did a run up some foothills through a burned out forest... was eary. Nice veiw without the trees in the way, but sad that there was no green...



Burnt trees do a number on the paint job.



Thanks again.
