southern California fires and Eaton Canyon - 2:14 PM, Oct. 25, 2007 |
As the fires rage all around the southern California area, the national forest emergency teams are completely occupied. I was planning a hike to the top of San Gabriel Peak, with kids from the Sukyo Mahikari spiritual development center this Sunday. However, the Angeles National Forest is closed down. Why? There are no fires presently in the Forest. I went up to the Mount Wilson Red Box station, and got first-hand information. All of the fire and rescue teams have been sent to adjacent areas like Big Bear and Castaic, as well as San Diego County. If something were to happen, there are few resources to help. I chose to go to Eaton Canyon Natural Area instead. It's not closed off, and we'll get a wonderful assortment of wildlife, sheltered from the smoke. http://www.ecnca.org/
