EISPIRATEN

Matt regarding Loomis Ranch, I was in youch with someone who had created a historical webpage on the site. Will attempt to get updated info. Scott Yeah unfortunately he's not one of the current owners of the property I was hoping someone you know might have had a chance look down in there The data ...

There seems to be some further gains in the Twin Peaks, Waterman Mtn area, though there "appears" to be a spot fire at Three Points :( The fire is holding outside of Santa Anita Cyn still and it seems to be confined to the West Fork on the SE Claw Seems to be little activity on Pacifico Mt...

LA Times is reporting that Stony Ridge Observatory on Mt. Mooney and Camp Colby in Upper Big T. have survive the fire. New brusher just broke out in Rolling Hills/Palos Verde near the Torrance Border. Any word on Loomis Ranch area? I did some hiking down there with the Son of the owner a year or tw...

I've found another source for much more detailed information on the MODIS data I'm working on a map but this has more divisions in the data anyway the "most" active area in the south claw of the beast is in the Devils Cyn The last pass of the satellite didn't have any new detections for th...

Yes yes! I suspect this was the case.

it is good... some of the critters have and will survive... life will find a way!

The Beast is now mostly out of the urban interface though it is very stubborn over toward Magic Mtn, wind could push it down to Sand Cyn, Santa Clarita in a very short time. There is a bit of renewed vigor below Pacifico Mtn over Bare Mtn and SF Little Rock Creek The main action is in the SE claw of...

All is not lost!

Many people, called and pressured the forest sertvice

"apparently" to some effect

The data shows the Beast at the head of Santa Anita Cyn

If no effort is made here it's likely gone, since there are no transmitters or homes in there......

Pray for rain as the FS won't do a thing

Are we/should we be worried about Buckhorn? Newcomb's is awfully close - too close for my comfort. Until this thing is out everything is in danger But Buckhorn is quite a distance away, even if the wind was to pick up I'd venture a guess that it is 2-3 days away I've been going to Buckhorn since I ...

Stop it it you're killing me!

Oh. So by southern, Matt meant eastern. Clear as a bell! :D I assumed that Matt meant all of the ANF except for the rather sizable Santa Clara piece to the north and west of the San Gabriels. I was hoping that Matt was wrong. Alas, he was evidently right. Yes, I kind of had figured out what he had ...

And so this is what?

The San Gabriels have always been dissed by many....Most those who haven't learned it's many charms by spending time here

"Danger is my middle name"

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if he's come around to the "grey side" by now

I called the pack Station and forwarded the # to the La Times

I also made a few suggestions after he said it would be different if they has lots of communication equpment or a Judge living up there

Apparently he has a few Ideas!

Matt

Ready for another spin of the wheel now?

I sure am... Couldn't be much worse than the forest service

Also, apparently rebuilt starters from Mexico = shit.

Don't these places (Kragen, etc..) all offer "lifetime" warranties on these things?

But you got a hi-class one, made in china = less than shit

Did Newcomb Ranch survive? This was posted a short time ago on the Foothills Forum There maybe hope for newcombs yet People may have confused Hidden Springs with Newcombs " There is differing information about Newcomb's but I got the below information from another forum from someone who is ver...

There is differing information about Newcomb's but I got the below information from another forum from someone who is very tied to both Newcomb's and Mt.

disgusting

The fire seems stationary at Devils Cyn for now...

No apparent progression to the south into Santa Anita Cyn

If the wind doesn't pick up.....

Pacifico Mtn area seems to have NO active burning

One small area in Little-T

Any word on the status of Big Santa Anita Canyon? Sturtevant Camp? Can't find any updated links. The Pack Station hasn't updated their site since the weekend. Anyone heard anything? It looks like "The Beast" is making inroads toward Santa Anita Cyn Well have to wait and see.... Thinking a...

The Beast is dying! Hooray! Down with the Beast! The largest, most active part of the fire is now the South EAST Claw of The Beast, threatening Chilao, Waterman, & Twin Peaks area. I suspect they won't fu*# around this time and put this out pronto if possible With the Martin Mars and others they...
