Planned a short hike for the Birthday Girl today
however.....

While I was warming up the truck I could see a lot of smoke to the SW.
Turned out to be the Alamo Fire at Pena Blanca.
We took a really quick walk with the kid and dog to the column and back.
Then took some FR and Access Roads to check out the damage.
From the road to the West of Calabasas campground we could see flames
and also from the road above the White Cliffs.
-
The road above the White Cliffs is directly across from Castle Rock.
It looks like the ridge behind CR was burned completely.
The road that follows the ridge sticks out like a white scar with all that charred earth around it.
-
Pena Canyon and Walker Canyon are also burning.
Tonight we can see flames from the driveway.
-
The hike was short and quick.
Too much smoke to do much activity.
