I heard about that on the way home. We took HWY 80. I hope they get it under control, it's really dry up there for this time of year.

yeah, Hwy 50 is closed at pollock pines. i could see it too. i heard it took 50 home in the first 3 hours. this is a bad one. there is a lot of fuel in that area. i think my department ( sacramento fire dept.)is assisting in strike teams already. they're gona need a lot of help.

Was everyone off the trail? Does anyone know yet?

 

[greenfox]

The fire is a bout 20 miles away from the trail. So there should be no problem getting out.

We went out in the morning and out 50. Now fire at that point. WE were in South Lake Tahoe by 10:30 am. After getting laoded on the trailer and heading home I saw the smoke in the hills.

we were to south lake tahoe by 10am and didn't see a fire anywhere on 88 prior to that. Must have sprung up quick, it is dry up there right now.

My buddy and I left the trail at 7pm on Saturday so I guess we just missed it. I was in my silver FJ Cruiser.

 

[Tool Pusher]

We must have just missed it also. I think we went through South Lake Tahoe and down 50 around 1:00 PM.

This fire sucks, it took 2 of my buddies homes and work equipment from another, and for the others I don't know, my prayers. I would never wish this upon anyone except my boss.
