Yosemite fire update

The incident web's latest update is about a day old.

But it's "official"

The Sierra News Online seems to be up to date.

I didn't run into a paywall.

I think the main takeaway is that the firefighters are doing everything possible to save the giant sequoias, and that they are very likely to survive.

I am hoping that the peak fire has passed, though you never know, with heat in the high 90's.

This was todays look-see.

Fire is past the ridge.
Plume was less in the evening.

2. I've hiked from the Wawona Hotel to Mariposa Grove...

...to the closed "view point" next to the old tunnel tree, I even saw a bear on that hike (well his posterior, he/she ran...which is the proper response). It's heart breaking. The Chilnualna Falls area isn't too far from there. I've been to Yosemite so many times, that I've completely lost count.

Hope they can stop this fire.
