Smoke
The fire is now on the other side of the ridge, going like a steam locomotive up Santiago Canyon towards Mounts Modjeska and Santiago.
It would be a good thing if the fire suddenly turned about and headed for us because one leg of the Fire Triangle would be missing — Fuel.
Ash continues to rain down on us. Yesterday, our local Nissan dealer called us offering to clean the smoke residue from our cars and do a twenty point check — for free.
UPDATE: Strange. The USFS closed down the Cleveland National Forest today. Why wasn’t this done a few days ago when all these fires got started?

Ginny, Whiting was more or less burned over. I don’t know the degree to which the old oaks in the bottom of the canyon were injured, but keep in mind that the chaparral ecosystem depends on a good fire every few years for renewal. Whiting will recover from this and the red rock will never burn.
I hope to have some photos of what happened as soon as they let people in there.
