JJ'S Report on the Campo Fire

The fire now burning in San Diego County (largest fire in the state
currently) is approaching Potrero from the northwest. Winds are
very light at the present time, so fire is not currently a threat,
unless the winds increase this afternoon. I just got off the phone
from talking to Ken H.(one of the local Minutemen who lives in
Potrero). Ken said he has already evacuated his wife and horses,
and has his other vehicles loaded, ready to leave if given final
evacuation orders. I told him to let me know if he needs help, and
I'd be there in about two hours or so. He said he really
appreciated that, and that you sure meet the best people while being
a MM.
I first spoke to Kingfish yesterday, about the fire, he was in L.A.
at his wife's house. He had just participated in the rally to
support the LAPD for their excellent work in handling the MM March
in Hollywood a couple of weeks ago.
Ken H. told me the fire is currently about 5 miles away, and burning
very slowly on a southeasterly course, which would take it near Lake
Morena off Buchman Springs Road.
Ken H. climbed one of the high peaks in the area and counted 11
different hot spots in the fire, so it's still 95 % out of control!
Checkstand is in town with car trouble. Ridgerunner, Little Dog,
Gadget Dan, and Rascal were on the "line" this past weekend.
Will keep you all posted as these historical events unfold.
