New Fire!

There's a new fire in Canyon Country, by Sand Canyon. Initial reports are that it is likely arson. This is very scary, I've decided I do not like fire. I wish the winds would go away and we could just go back to clear blue skies. I hope this is all over soon.

It is very dark so the pictures below aren't the best quality but here are a few of the smoke from the Santa Clara Riverbed (aka "The Wash") at Sierra Highway.

Update: The fire has been dubbed for now "The Soledad Fire" and is currently burning the Canyon Breeze Mobile Home Park. Unfortunately several units have been destroyed so far. Sand Canyon has been shut down on the North side from Soledad Canyon Road to Sierra Highway.

Update 2: We went by Sand Canyon today (10/23), this fire was not as devastating as many of the others. A few mobile homes burned, which is terrible, but the area around there in generally in pretty good shape. It is completely extinguished.
