Anyone displaced or evacuated in California:


If anyone here is being Evacuated or displaced by the fires here in Califonia, I can offer anyone a place to stay at my place in the mountains above Fresno. I have power that will not be shut off, and a horse setup and lots of room if you need to move your animals.

Wish i could help you move em, but i really don't have the trailers that would be needed.

regardless, if anyone needs a place to stay - just U2U me, I'll send you my phone # and we can connect and see if i have any thing that can help you out.

stay safe,
good luck to all of you

Are you above the smoke?
Here in Oakdale it is like winter fog and teary eyes prevail.
They showed a map that indicates that the smoke from our local Del Puerto Canyon fire is reaching Montana.

Bravo to you for your offer.
If it gets much worse here I may come sit on your porch....

The "Jones fire" near Grass Valley and Nevada City is still burning, but the mandatory evacuation area has been lifted for about 80% of the homes involved.

I know there are Nomads around here, and if any of you are still locked out of your neighborhood, I have a couple of rooms, and a fair bit of parking space available.

Send me a U2U message if I can help!

well guys, i wish my offer still stood, but I just got evacuation order from the Creek fire. My place will be fine, pretty much fire proof, and lots of clearing, just have to wait it out in town for a couple of days I guess.

BTW turns out it was started by campers who just had to have a campfire, even though it was in no fires area - if you are that stoopid, stay out of the mountains!

I am in Grass Valley, about 3 1/2 or 4 hours north of you. Your smoke is drifting over us right now, and you are welcome to watch it from my place if Fresno is booked up. I have two bedrooms available, U2U if you need more info.

I wish people like that were billed for suppression costs. :fire:

Good luck on your place floating through...


Good luck indeed!
The news says that the smoke that we're getting here near Sacramento is from the Creek Fire in Fresno county. :O

I remember at least two times in recent years that the responsible parties were billed for the costs, but I will be willing to bet that even more money was spent trying to collect dollars than was recovered!

Thanks AK Gringo, Lucky enough to have a daughter in town with a big place, including a pool and a BBQ, bout time for her to start paying us back for all we did for her!

But I appreciate the offer! i suspect by tomorrow afternoon, it's going to be all over in our little area, either it comes through or they get it contained, but its going to happen over the next 24 hours!

The issue right now is blistering heat 105 today, more of the same tomorrow before it cools down to a frigid 98 on tuesday. at least not much in the way of winds, but we need a temp drop and a humidity bump

This has been the worse year for people heading to the mountains! The TP and human crap alone is terrible but I have found 3 camp fires left smoldering! One two weeks ago stared a fire across HWY 88 from my cabin but luck was with us and they caught it fast.

P.S.P.S. tonight


I just received notice from PGE that due to a forecast of a wind event in my area, the power will be shut off this evening for 24 hours. (subject to change)

It will be triple digits here again today!

Triple digits, no electricity, Oh my gosh. I would recommend coming to Baja and waiting it out but I am sure you want to be near your home in case something does happen.

Stay safe amigos.
