  • Oh wow! Thanks from North ish Coast (Los Osos) for the timely updates. Much appreciated. Stay safe

  • I just want to give such a big shout-out of appreciation to Kate and all the other folks sourcing information these past few weeks. Your information and resources on the River and CV fires were so helpful to me but also in their own way calming and reassuring. My heart is with all of you. I know how special the coast and wilderness beyond is ❤️

  • Having watched smoke get too close for comfort, just know that you and yours are in my thoughts. :)
