Sandblaster...in trouble.
Bush's fault!
They have set up East and West Structure protection groups, but are not fighting the fire due to extreme fire conditions.
WOW, that's bad news, there's a lot of dry brush in that area.....
The wind over there is often tremendous...thus the name, "Sandblaster." And it's a DRY year!!!!!
Alaska is still on fire if anyone cares.

I guess I'm unfamiliar. Where's Three Points?
My God! The fire could turn that area into a desert.
Valley Views and Valley Oaks
Only one hour North of Hollywood, at the entrance to the Angeles National Forest, there sits the little "Lost in Time Hamlet" called "Three Points" 12 miles east of the 5 Freeway on Highway 138 E to Lancaster.. The sign just after Quail Lake points to the Old Ridge Route. Take it. It's the most scenic road in all of Southern California. The road climbs revealing the western Mojave Desert / Antelope Valley bounded by the grassy-patched, forest-quilted Tehachapi Mountains. Stop at the first turnout in the shade of the valley oak, yes, valley, as in Great Central Valley. The leaves are lobed, rounded without prickly tips, and will fall off later in the month of November; some are amber already. The elongated, deep-brown acorns explode when the tires roll over them. Pop, pop, pop; many have fallen to the ground on this quiet back road.
Sounds nice.
