Yucca Valley location is in Southern California's high desert about 30 miles northeast of Palm Springs. I would say at this time Yucca Valley is ok.

I spoke to my son in the city of Orange last night and he was coughing a lot during the conversation. Said the smoke hurt his eyes and made breathing a little difficult. He said it was worse a few days ago. We still lived in Orange County when they had that bad fire in the Laguna area in 1993 and hubby was working on a project on PCH. Their parking lot was used by the fire helicopters. We had the bad Biscuit fire in our area last summer and it lasted around 2 months or so - they really didn't declare it completely out until the rains came in November. Some of the crews from that and Erickson Air Crane helicopters from the Rogue Valley are now helping fight the fires in Southern CA. I ran from one of those fires just before my 3rd birthday when we lived in a beach house in Malibu. They are terrifying!! Hubby's uncle and aunt (now deceased) had a mountain cabin at Blue Jay near Lake Arrowhead. We are wondering if it is still there or if the fire has consumed it. What about the Forest Falls area and the Christian campground and conference area? Is the fire in that area? Our kids used to go to summer camps at Indian Village there. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Diane Gladieux" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2003 1:25 PM Subject: Re: is this street near the fire? > Yucca Valley location is in Southern California's high desert about 30 > miles northeast of Palm Springs.

I am in Irvine, Orange County. Nasty Sat., Sun., not to bad Mon. and Tuesday. Ok yesterday. Hint of sprinkles this morning ... now clouds and patches of blue sky. Forest Home web site yesterday said they packed up computers, records and history on Monday and left on Tuesday. My kids also went to Indian Village. We could see red when Laguna on fire in '93. Scared my kids but we were far enough away not a problem. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Elaine" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2003 4:15 PM Subject: Re: is this street near the fire? > I spoke to my son in the city of Orange last night and he was coughing a lot > during the conversation.
