Sitting at the Pine Valley & Jolon Rd. Chevron, two fire trucks went by. I found this on the chp site:

  • It's 4:51pm and I'm in KC seeing no smoke in any direction, so I guess they got it quick. I did see a grass fire on FHL, but I'm guessing that is a controlled burn, as it was too far from the road for it to have been caused by touron cigaretts. Took me over 3 hours from the 1 to the west gate from stopping so often to pick up all the touron trash and TP!! Was passed at 12:18 by the hugely long caravan of locals from the noon Paul's Slide crossing. Also, about a mile from the west gate was passed by about a dozen dump trucks and a few other cars. That was about 3:30pm.
