Sorry to report,the condor nest in Big Sur is right in the path of the Dolan fire.
Latest report the fire has reached the condor staging/storage pen area.
They aren't sure about the nest.
The adult birds will fly away but this years chic isn't fledged yet.
Last I checked yesterday it was still in the nest.
Don't know if a crew can get into the area to rescue the chic from it's nest.
And this fire was arson set.IMO the guy they caught who set the fire
should never see the light of day,prison for life.
Maybe I am a bit harsh but this is very tragic as are the other fires.

I expect to see birds dropping out of the air any time now. Too thick to breathe or fly through. The overcast has dropped the temperature considerably.

Our nephew and his family evacuated their Boulder Creek, CA home on Wednesday or Thursday and at around midnight last night (Eastern time) his Mama (my baby sister) sent us a pic of the foundation--it's a goner. The young man has a wife and two kids of his own and a stepson, works over the mountain in San Jose, and will be living in a rented RV in my sister's Watsonville driveway until further notice. What a way to live! Over here we have hurricanes and tornadoes, but nothing to rival the widespread destruction which wildfires can bring.Casa Escarlata Robles Too said:

Foy, that is a heartbreaker! Sure hope everything goes as smoothly as possible handling this awful event.
We had a fire start about 2 miles away this morning, hard to miss the sirens and helicopters. Quick action got it. Time to stay close to home.

Sorry to hear about your nephew getting burned out.
Looking at pictures of the area it's a big mess.

Hope things work out well for your family.

A spattering of rain overnight. A hint of blue sky visible overhead. Air Quality Index has dropped to 125. Forecast high today of 85 but continued red flag warning due to thunderstorms and gusty winds. Summer time and the living ain't easy........................
Stay safe Ski. Fairly clear skys here today.
Some smoke off to the east but not bad yet.
No rain/lighting thankfully.
Just think only one more week of summer.
Fall soon.

The smoke really comes and goes. Earlier it was so bad I went out and came right back in. At the moment its tolerable to work outside a little bit. Going to be a long summer ;(
Craig summer is over next Tuesday 1 Sept.Hang in there only one more week.
Very foggy here on the coast.I think it is helping with the fires.

Just took the dog for a walk. The smoke was gone. Amazing how that works. At the dog park is just about where the tankers from McClellan begin their turns for whatever fire they're going to. I wouldn't want the job of cleaning those planes up.

Flew in to Reno and discovered it is hot and yucky smoke!! Kinda wished our trip lasted longer as to have avoided more of this smoke.
