Listening to the little bit of air traffic we can hear, it sounds like the fire has made it to the sewer ponds in Mountain Center, just below Highway 243. Talking about dragging retardant from that point.

Watching the footage from the copters, looks like the fire is holding on the dirt road that runs from the end of Apela drive to the settling ponds to the west. Retardant is starting to turn the corner there, not sure where the retardant line runs to on the East side.

Fire has crossed Highway 243 in one spot, attempting to hold it at 243. Fire appears to be running in an easterly direction, and paralleling the community of Idylwild along the west ridge.
