Yesterday I had a little holiday in the city so was away from my phone and computer and caught up on your many messages pretty late. It was pretty slow coming up the grade late last night as I was following a couple big tractor/trailers with huge track bulldozers with ‘Oversized Load” signs. I wasn’t complaining since I guessed they were heading out to Warner Springs to work on that Chihuahua Valley Fire.
Lightening was responsable for fires around Palomar. One was put out pretty fast near Morgan Hill, above the Christian Conference Center and the Doane Valley area.

Just checked NOAA, the National Weather Service and saw this pic for the first time. They are predicting “Patchy Smoke” on the Mountain today with 86 degrees. It is totally clear at our place right now. But, some of us out and about on the might have some smoke from all the efforts of many folks working to get the fire contained on the north side. THANKS to all!
Palomar Mountain News 
Thank you Bonnie for keeping us off the mountain folks informed about fires on and around our loved mountain. We will be driving up to our little weekend cabin at Bailey’s after work today and would have been freaking out seeing smoke on or near the mountain and not knowing what is going on. Since we don’t live in San Diego County we don’t get any North County news. Your news and updates are truly appreciated by us and I always enjoy reading your mountain news. Hopefully, they can contain that Chihuahua fire soon. It’s only 5% contained now and that is not very much. Good to know that they have lots of fire fighting effort in place there.
