this time in the santa cruz mountains heading south towards corriltas direction the smoke should be at arts(hdflstff) house some time tonight the news said. so far 1,000+ acres and gthe wind is blowing good at my house so it must be real bad in the fire area with its own generated wind.for those that know the area summit rd near 17 is closed and are alot of the roads on the south side of the summit area . smoke slowed traffic on 101 this morning (looky looes). the cdf will be making a large camp . possibley at christmas tree park (gilroy area). thats where they did the last camp for the fire last year . if not there then the news said watsonville fairgrounds. so far no people hurt but they have lost houses and mobile homes. they have also been able to save soom the nws said.

. I dont know any of us fanactics that live in the way of this fire as of yet . but will keep the local news updates going so you guys dont lose the good stuff in the national spotlite. right now people are evauating and getting the animals out . lots of horse lovers in them thar hills the local spca reports they are coming to them. also lots of dogs and small farm animals
