6:45 pm – about an 1/2 hour ago, I first noticed drift smoke between Prewitt Ridge and Cone Peak … Couldn’t tell where it was coming from. I now see drift between me and Willow Creek. More drift between Prewitt and Cone Peak. If I had to guess, I’d say from FHL. It is past my fur kids dinner time, so I did a quick search and found this …

New Wildfire . . . . . . 35.927 x 121.432
Not to helpful, cuz every time I try to fit cordinates to a location, I end up in China! but it confirms what I can see. Let me deal with the dogs, and then I will make some calls, look at few sites, and let you know what I find.
It’s a fire in top of Prewitt ridge and it’s only 1/2 acer, 3 tankers a helicopter and ground crews should have it out by this evening.
Meant plaskett ridge. My phone changed it. Those campers need to be more careful.
It was 3 acres, last I heard, from Cal Fire when they came through. 3 miles up Plaskett, per USFS, not the top, as that’s where I am, and no fire right here.😉 but thanks for info.
What’s the update on the Plaskett fire from last evening? Who and how was it started? To what exent/size? I’m reading mixed reports.
Last word was it was sized up at 3.1 acres. It was human caused. Don’t know which humans or how. Could have been the illegal campfire I saw, or the gunshots a neighbor across canyon heard. I drove by at 5 pm, and was nothing at that time. My one and only neighbor spotted it and called it in about 6:30 pm. Frankly, it was an idiot, and it doesn’t matter what form the idiocy took to me. Same result.
Heading to Big Sur in one week! what is the current status of visibility and air quality?
Good
