Thought to myself, 99% chance it wasn't him.

A half dozen low alt heli passes for Carlos, the missing off duty firefighter, were just seen.

Yesterday, I saw, by the ole goat house, Shay/baldwin, a mountain biker (phat tires kind) no helmet. That was the spitting image and build of him. I didn't have time to backtrack...
Say hey what's your name?
Chopper is back again.

Is it just Forest Falls without power still? According to the Red Cross rep at my friend's hotel, the generator/s are coming up here today and we may have power by this Friday. Guess I'm headed for the laundromat!

Spiceguy - have you had these kissing bugs in the past? I know they bite (they like to bite you in the face, ick!). Not to be alarmist but they are also known to carry Chagas disease, here is an article from the Patch, be careful!!!!

Fire's not doing too bad, had a real good header yesterday, simmered down a bit today. Just burning through some unburned fuels within the perimeter/containment lines. [Click Here]

El dorado fire looks like it's flaring up. Can see a significant plume from down the hill.

Still a little header seen on the El Dorado Fire, burning into some rocky steep terrain firefighters can access easily, so they're doing some drops. It's still burning well within the containment line(s). [Click Here]
