THE RAVAGES OF FIRE.
Day 120 – Beginning of Week 18. This morning it was 59 and raining lightly at 8 a.m. We’re above Santa Barbara, but today we’ll be travelling south along the coast, taking Highway 101 through Ventura. I imagine we’ll be passing burned out areas from the recent terrible Thomas fire. In fact, inland it’s still burning & will be for about another 2 weeks – at least that’s what we got from the latest local fire report online. It’s under control though, about 92% contained. It’s supposed to rain hard later today, but we’ll see if that really happens. Heavy rain would be excellent for putting out the fires, but it’d be bad for mudslides. Should be an interesting trip to the next campground.
