Original news reports yesterday lead me to believe it was at the bridge where the fire around 25-30 years ago was located; across the creek from Cold Canyon Resort and up the canyon at the UCD property. Coming back from the Davis archery range yesterday the smoke column seemed to be further North, quite some distance from CCR though radio news did mention evacuation from CCR.

Tried to fish up there this morning almost got turned around at Moskowites but kept goin. CHP blocked off near the Glory hole. Smoke was far enough away from there but once i hit the last road block it was all about. Bummer. Did the two fires combine er what?
To funny , I must have a silver tongue they let me go twice once for fishing and then the second time I brought 12 watermelon and 2 cases of Honest tea from Whole foods as a thank you to all the fire men . You should have seen the look on there faces as I handed them a watermelon and a bottle of tea

I drove up to PC 2 days ago to see the area. The maps outlining the extent of the fire are spot on. All of the north side of 128 from Canyon Creek to Access 5 appears burned with only trees remaining. Fortunately, the creek side was spared....
The important question is, can we keep all that ash out of the creek when the first rain hits. I'm guessing it will turn the redds to cement if it gets into the water.

I was thinking about that the other day. It's not the ash so much as the lack of soil stability when the rains do come. I would expect Putah to be a muddy mess this Winter.
