Somehow I missed this by a few minutes on Friday. On Monday, I rode by the same area and was startled to see it blackened!
The fire was at approximately 33.778175,-117.84617
According to my GPS, here’s where I was :
<trkpt lat=”33.778144999999995″ lon=”-117.84625199999999″><ele>21.899999618530273</ele><time>2013-10-04T23:46:53Z</time></trkpt>
<trkpt lat=”33.778104″ lon=”-117.846064″><ele>24.299999237060547</ele><time>2013-10-04T23:46:57Z</time></trkpt>
23:46 – 7hours for PST – 12 (to get to 12hr time) = 4:46pm
According to the article the fire was called in before 5pm. Pretty crazy.
