on the washingto fire in sonora ca

sonora ca is about an hour from yosemite national park, 3 hours east of san fransisco. 8 hours from los angles in the old sierra nevada gold mining district as of today i am safe , but there are manditory evacuatoins in south sonora and west to jamestown area .( a unincorperated area of tuolmnue county.) as of to day the fire has grown (according to cal fire ) 81 acres and 5% contained . the power outage was related to the fire as it took out some key power lines . so it was crazy. i got a call from a buddy of mine in my2 story apartment and the elevataor wasnt working due to the outage ,. went down stairs and went to a friends house .spent the evening there. was told that we were on advisment but never did.

miles southwest of the Caldor fire. We have lots of smoke here but it does clear some in the afternoon. Along with neighbors, I have been helping by boarding large animals. Wish you well and heed all warnings. Stay safe.

didn’t realize how much is going on there with the fires .
Such a beautiful area . I’ve been to Sonora and Columbia , drove through many other areas around there, and of course visited the park
Take care & Stay safe
