Just heard radio traffic about some type of work up on Oat Hill Mine Trail. Said if that doesn’t hold will have to consider evacuations in Calistoga.

Thanks for clarifying, I was trying to sort out the “mine trail” part.

If they can’t hold it across the Oat Hill Mine Rd, there is nothing to anchor to between Aetna Springs and Calistoga. Likewise, once it exited Aetna Springs on the East side to the South, there is nothing to anchor to between there and Howell Mtn Rd, which is very tenuous to hold from. There is a road known as Ink Grade, but the canopy covers the entire road so that isn’t even a consideration to check it there. If it doesn’t hold there on Howell Mtn Rd., it will go all the way to Chiles-Pope Valley Road. That will stop it as it is all black from there South but there is a lot of real estate in there and a lot of homes, ranches and wineries. It is for this reason, the communities of Angwin and Deer Park, including St. Helena Hospital are under mandatory evacuation orders.

The brush in that area is thick. Timbers as well as light flashy fuels. There is also a fairly steep slope coming up from Pope valley into the Angwin area.
