Farmer John Fire Update: help still needed with preventititve measures; fire still a couple ridges away.

Subject says it. The fire is still a ridge behind the far ridge you see looking out from the bench at the labrynth. CDF is working on the _bottom_ of the fire, which is at highway one. So far they are only assessing here, but will be starting to bulldoze in the area tommorow. Tasajara has been evacuated of guests. The word is that Tasajara road is controled by the Sherrif at the bottom. Jimber did a bunch of weed whacking and clearing, there is still more to do. (Go Jimber, John says thanks!)

The fire is actually two, coming together.Basin Complex (Gallery and Basin Fires)

John is inviting help, most especially those with weed whackin/chain sawing/brush clearing desire/experience/tools. (He does have a couple of weed whackers and a chain saw). If you're interested, call or email him: JohnKinder@earthlink.net, or 831.915.5704.

The photo below I took last night from the labrynth, with a 200mm lens (moderate telephoto)

Hugs and let's keep John and his land in our prayers and thoughts.
