Red Flag wind warnings Monday and Tuesday.
Lots of people are about to lose homes I'm afraid.

That means The Ponderosa will burn! Where is Pa Cartwright?

Wife and I were commenting that the National News outlets haven't said much about the other folks losing homes (655 or so in that fire if I recall), but let it get close to the resort area and the rich folks' houses it becomes National news.

Hoss get the wagon. Little Joe, grab your gray jacket. Adam. Adam, where the fuuck is Adam?

Getting freaky with Hop Sing in the kitchen while the boys are away?

I hope folks are going to be ok, we just had a shyte storm and lost alot of homes, but thats not all they lose I notice.

If it keeps going and comes up around the lake we will probably have to bail out. Will pack a couple of hammers if we go so I can build another house that looks just like this one.

We have two fires to the south of us making for a good bit of smoke.

This morning It was 8 miles from So. Tahoe. Can only say the winds picked up from the SW. Supposed to be almost red flag winds tomorrow. Not looking good.

Sorry to hear. Please keep us posted.

Relax, boys. The Ponderosa is on north shore Lake Tahoe.

But South Lake Tahoe burning will sure as hell get people's attention. Multi-million dollar homes nestled everywhere in the big trees. That would raise some eyebrows unlike the thousands of already burned homes out in the lesser known towns.

Staying in Reno until Tuesday then planning to go to Coleville Ca. may have to change plans

Ponderosa is long gone.

Loved that park as a kid.

A few bad ones burning in Norcal, I hate it....

The Dixie fire, like the Campfire, has destroyed friend and family homes. My extended family in NorCal just keep taking a beating. It is sad to see good, conservative, hard working folks take such a pounding in that chit state.

Family also has property and cabins in Homewood, CA. Trying to get a read of my old summer haunt is in the crosshairs.

Prayers to all stuck in the crosshairs in the ppl's republic of Cali!

Last week, before the caldor fire had reached kyburz, or jumped 50, I’d read that the forests to the east hadn’t burnt In 100 years. The concern was that if it gotten into that old growth, which is where it is now, it mostly likely won’t be stopped by man.

Hoping for the best

Just another benefit of DNC policy re muzzie immigration, Wildfire Jihad.
Calledumb and Suckermore and Gayghost are happy.

Arent you guys?

As I recall from nearly 50 years ago (1974) when we hiked south out of Tahoe, through the Desolation Wilderness, and down the crest to Alpine Lake at Hiway 4, most of what we hiked was pretty pristine looking. Especially in the river canyons.

And steep too. Not good conditions for fighting a fire.

We need rain and snow to get that thing out I think,

Based on the overnight progress it looks like we will either get a burn or an intolerable amount of smoke. The boys are currently driving the fuel out of all their motorized equipment, and my wife is inventorying keepsakes and the like.

I’m thinking we will move into a vacant rental and pay ourselves rent so we will be one of our few tenants keeping current.

Hope you don't lose too much if it hits.

Why not drive the vehicles out or are you mentioning "toys"?

If we ever have to bail, the wife's RAV4 and my Tacoma come along. The 2004 Matrix will just have to make it through alone, along with everything I can't get in the small cargo trailer.

Stay safe.
