It was gorgeous up around Lake Almanor today. Relatively clear skies and cool temperatures made for a great day to go check on projects in construction. Unfortunately, the weather (snow, rain, floods) of last spring have some of them behind their schedules.

Talking about the Bear Fire? No where near Santa Cruz. Nearest "town" is Boulder Creek, but the people in jeopardy are up in a community called Las Cumbres. They've all been evacuated. We have many friends over there.

We got almost 1/3", and most of it came between midnight and 2AM. Much appreciated; the air is really clean and crisp this morning.
Seeing as the Bear fire is only about 6 miles from here, I'm expecting to hear that this really helped the effort to put this one out.
They'd already gotten a pretty good handle on it. They have almost 1,000 firefighters on it now, and last night (before the rain), they were reporting 30% containment, and the fire spread had held at 300 acres. They also lifted the evacuation orders, and our friends in Las Cumbres were allowed to go back home.
