Great to here all is well.

Anybody know if the National Guard been called out? What would it take to put out these fires? All hands on deck or something. If I was in the area all in need would have my help.

" SOMEONE JUST SET THE FIRE "

Just knowing there are arsonists on the loose is reason enough to get out now, these maniacs could close escape routes.

Was it a satellite truck or "just" a microwave van?

Microwave van.

Old Waterman canyon rd runs right beside Hwy 18 as you head up to Crestline. It's the old logging route they used years ago. It has a little community there and nudist ranch. Kind of an artsy eclectic bunch

Good one, Dave. Is this a bumper sticker?
