Glad you clear of it!!

There saying 19,600 acre burned so far and mandatory evacuations of the town of Mariposa...
 
It was too late to move animals to my mom's this morning. They did a hard shut down on the hwy. One way trip. So we wrote numbers on them.
If we need to boog. Set em loose and take gear already packed in trailer.
 
About 6am now.
I heard town has made is so far. But the wind is going to shift here about 10 and pick up again.
Fire went around behind us up the Merced River canyon. Following the traditional burn area from the last fire called Telegraph. Still heading up river toward Bruce burg this side of Yosemite.
No word on the front that was running west of town.
They moved command center down to the valley. So command is coming from out of town.
We are ok. Tad smoked out. Still ready to bolt if needed. Sheriff's parked down on the corner.
Still no fire crews here. They are further out on the fringes.
We'll know more after the crew meetings after 8. Betting 30000 acres.
 
Reports coming in range from growing up to 45000 to possibly 54000 acres since yesterday.
Infrared is the 54000 number. News agency the 45,000.
Waiting on confirmation
