we were suppose to go camping today and tomorrow at Plaskett Creek..... Plaskett Creek is in the southern part of big sur. where the red arrow is. see #68 on the map? That is Nacimiento-Fergusson Road. They have closed everything north of there. I live to the west.....we have had smoke covering our sky for days now. These fires were started by lightening. They are huge fires and still not contained. One is
30-square-mile blaze that is still only three-percent contained, another is a 92 square mile blaze that is two thirds contained. They are predicting more electrical storms now (with a hope of rain).... as of last night we thought we would still drive to Plaskett... as of this morning it is most doubtful :( The smoke alone would be unbearable.

The first time I physically met my husband
(http://WBEckertStudio.blogspot.com ) it was in Big Sur... I am feeling very sad about these fires... it is one of the most beautiful places on earth, as far as i am concerned and it holds many many memories... in fact, i want my ashes to be spread in big sur.... that's how much i love big sur....
