We were going to go to Big Bear this weekend with some friends for Justin’s birthday. We cancelled this morning. Honestly, we probably still would have went because the back way (Hwy38) is wide open and the fire was so far from Big Bear… but Justin got deathly ill last night and we cancelled this morning as he was making a Dr appt for meds.
Saw this on a blog (haven’t heard ANYTHING else about Big Bear)… but it doesn’t look good!

Ch. 4 News: “People in Big Bear are going to have to hold tight until we get a handle on this fire”, per Robin Prince SB Natl Forest. “not a major concern at this time”.
12:26 PM – Source: other – From: NBC Ch. 4
Per Ch 4 news report, active fire is 2 miles west of Big Bear
UPDATE: Finally got BigBearGrizzly to load their website. They have a good map of things and good updates. No threat to Big Bear at this time but everything west of Snow Valley is being evacuated and it might get to Snow Valley possibly?

We are up in Moonridge, torward the very top. The front of our home is a HUGE ravine with basically nothing under it for a few miles except for brush. I made a quick Google Map of where our house is located (basically), I think this will work. If you click on the checkbox labeled (Our House) on the left hand side a blue dot will come up. We should be fine.
I’m bummed we aren’t going now though! But it will probably be a lot less hectic. We were going to stay until Monday, and then each day next week is COMPLETELY FULL. Justin’s birthday, Halloween, Nicole’s rehearsal AND wedding! Woohoo! It’s going to be a fun week so maybe it’s best that this weekend is quiet.

OMG…you seriously drive so close to me when you go up highway 38! I’m on the other side of crafton hills. One of these days we’ll have to meet up.
sorry to hear you’re not going to big bear.
however, if you go to the link, google gives you the ability to get directions to your place, even though you didn’t post the address. i didn’t try it, so i don’t know if it lets you go all the way, but i’m sure you don’t want people to be able to have that, should they stumble upon your post 🙁 sorry to be a buzzkill!
Jodi – How funny! I didn’t know you lived so close!
Angela – I totally just stabbed a spot when the map was zoomed out, actually 🙂 Wasn’t very scientific about it. It looks like we live in the middle of the canyon actually, when I zoom in now! haha! Thanks for the FYI though!
I changed it to be a big boxy thingy anyway since that would be smarter, as you mentioned 🙂
LOL sorry for being neurotic! it’s just ’cause i care =)
