Quick note from Hikertown in Lancaster, CA to say I'm okay and outhiked the Powerhouse Fire, now burning in Green Valley. Left there yesterday morning, hiked a gorgeous day, looked back, saw smoke, and kept going. 40 miles was way to much to hike in 26 hours. Tonight we're headed into the desert to beat the three-digit temperatures coming up...a long way from the freezing cold temps of the mountaintops just a week ago!
Thoughts and prayers are with the families being evacuated, and hope that the fire is contained soon. One week to go.
