    Liebre mtn, Maxwell Rd, Sawmill, SOT all seem to be affected. I don’t know if the fire is as far W as Sandburg

    From what I have seen on the news this morning, the fire seems to have relaxed, as they usually do at night. As of yesterday, the fire was moving East more than any other direction and it is reported that some structures have been destroyed.

    My mom lives in Kings Canyon nearly due North of the fire and was requested to evacuate last night. My commute from home to work each day takes me from Interstate 5 to the 14 Freeway so I have a pretty solid view of location. I'm going to assume that Sawmill campground is toast. The fire is no where near Golden Eagle and as of this morning it looks like it got it's azz kicked by our fire fighters over night. There are scattered fires and I currently have no facts or details. I took some pics on my way home yesterday.

    Me heading West on Highway 138 just off the 14 Freeway.

    It isn't - its between Lake Hughes Rd and Sawmill Mtn according to Inciweb. https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/6953/

    But they won't want anyone on the GE side in case it blows up, which it could if the wind picks up in an unfavorable direction.

    Crank up the prayers if you would, The fires (plural!) have grown in just a few hrs.
    The daughter and I were in Ventura for some boogie boarding/ surfing, the husband called to tell us to “get home quick, it’s getting ugly”. Ugly is right...we could see the new plume driving from Ventura 101/126.
    Thankfully the CHP officer enforcing the hard closure of San Francisquito Cyn let us through, we made the drive in no time :whistling:

    PS. Maxwell, the Longhorn Steer is alive and well. He was found by some firefighters, apparently he doesn’t like them so much, there’s a video on FB of Max charging our hero’s :eek: :Roflmao

    Wow, so Maxwell is still wondering around out there in the wilds? Heck, he'd be an awesome pet for someone who had the space.

    Thanks again all.
    We’ve been home for a few hrs now and things are already looking better. We have fires to the W and N, like an L shape, but no flames to be seen, just low, thick smoke

    Sooo....
    The pinnacle of today’s fire escapade was in my mom’s canyon (Kings Canyon). My mom, my sister and my Aunt live there. Both my mom and my sister ‘s houses are so far in the good after a long day of battling fire from every direction.
    I actually had to shield myself from the heat of flames as I forced my way to my mom’s. Actually drove about 35 feet from about 7 to 10 feet flames. :gotnothing:
    Raking pine needles, cleaning roof gutters, and filling buckets of water as the power was out and no longer any water pressure, it has been a long azz day.

    My Aunt Margie lost her house, completely burnt to the ground, she got her horses and animals out just in time to see the house torch.

    I have tons of pics on my phone, but too tired to upload them tonight.
    Mom Watson is sleeping on our couch tonight passed out from stressing about her long time home. Several times today I thought sure we were going to lose it.
    Rough day.
    More pics later...

    It was some word trickery. I was trying to say that he was wondering when someone was going to adopt him. He is out in the wilds, wondering when...
