Very sad. Oakhurst is a favorite spot of mine. The environmentalists are guilty of all the bad fires over the last twenty years because one thing: the white spotted owl. The hysteria about the dang owl moved responsibility of the forests from company loggers to public government workers. Now Yosemite is lit up again.
St. Florian, ora pro nobis. Wow. Hwy 41 is right there in the heart of forest.
The town of Oakhurst is currently safe. The section of Hwy 41 that the Ferguson fire jumped is in Yosemite NP. Oakhurst is suffering in that the air is unbreathable, and that most of all tourists have all left due to the fire and smoke, so their economy is taking a huge hit.
