Bad enough that Cedar Chalet is gone; if you can, could you possibly ask if the red log house next to the Forest Service made it? I’m guessing my office survived, but I’m now fifty miles away in Standish.

Today was a really bad day in the Upper Feather River. About as bad as a day can get for most of us. There is a lot of bad news, and some hopeful news, too. I just posted IR maps from this evening’s overflights: Dixie Fire – 8/4/2021 – Evening – The Lookout

Does that mean all of Hot Springs Road survived? My home is towards the end on the side closer to the rail road tracks. It would mean so much if anyone could give me some info on it.

Any info on or idea on how to get info on the status of the feather river and willow creek homesites? It’s 50 or so forest service lease cabins NW of Chester, near Warner valley.

God Bless you for the work you do. Prayers for all. Be Safe SA
