There's a lot of good riding areas burning right now. Just hope that everyone is okay.

Well we ended up being OK though it so far. Just a $hit load of ash all over. The wife agreed that if we had to pack up and go she would drive our truck so I could ride the bike and not leave it behind. I rode the bike to work today and could see the flames of the fire as I left the house. It was just a few miles away but I felt alright going to work. By the time I returned home the wind had changed direction and the fire had water dropped on it all day. I feel much safer now. Im going to have a lot of clean up this weekend.

It's not a pretty sight anywhere. They lost 12 homes in Santiago canyon, But it looks like Cook's is still standing.

Thanks for your thoughts. We got the reverse 911 call at midnight last night. Turned out to be in error. Thank goodness. The fire is about 5 miles away right now and going away from us now.Maybe we can take my mother-in-law home tomorrow Relatives are like fish.
