I don’t understand - I can get into the OC Register without any problem. Lived in OC for years but left 12 years ago and I’m beginning to get the feel now for where everything is. Trabuco Canyon wasn’t a problem but getting the rest straight in my mind took some time. The fire is all on the backside of Saddleback, right? We used to camp at O’Neill (?) park...
I’ve feared for years fire down the west side of Saddleback - have lots of friends in that area and what would stop fire from reaching the freeway and going to the ocean? Well remember watching the Laguna Beach fire from Irvine in 1993...the only thing that stopped that from crossing the 405 were the agriculture fields. Fires are so tragic...
Fire started south of Santiago Peak, the southern hump that makes up Saddleback. Holy Jim Canyon where the fire started is maybe 3-4 miles east of O’Neill Park
