Imagine the worst...and you just about have it. According to an overlay on a map...the fire burned homes in a little finger area below Highland Ave. The new highway 30 runs thru that area. short cut from the 10 to the 215. yeah...all those little sparkly lights on the mountain range...are in danger or gone. This is just tragic.

Was back there recently and drove my youngest daughter all over the area including Rim of the World drive. We stayed in Redlands for the night and I drove her up to Date Ave where we lived to see the mountains at night. She was born at Loma Linda Hospital so she is a California native and wanted to look at the whole area.
Just cannot fathom that beautiful area being under siege by the fire. Can still remember the first time that someone pointed out the Arrowhead on the side of the mountains and saw my first snow on San Gorgonio and it came down the mountains the week after we arrived in the Norton AFB area. It was absolutely gorgeous to see the snow from Mount Baldy all the way around the rims of the mountains and down sides of the mountains.
Vowed that day to buy a house with the backyard looking at the mountains which we did in Yucaipa! Brings tears to the eyes to realize that an area this beautiful is under seige because of someone starting the fire. Makes me want to bring back burning at the stake for those two lowlifes that have started this fire!

I still can't find out if my parent's old home burned down or not. My brother and his family live in it now but can't reach them. They're between Sterling and Arden and Lynwood and Marshall. Anyone know anything about that area?
