The fire is now *in* the Basin & in the Desolation Wilderness.   Mandatory evacs are in place about 12 miles away, the fire is actually about 20 miles away (as the crow flies or the fires burn...). 

 

I'm in Tahoe City (north west corner of the Lake).  The immediate threat is to South Lake Tahoe, but then possibly up the West side of the Lake towards me.  Not likely to happen under *normal* circumstances but the fires this year aren't behaving *normally* - this thing ran over 7 miles overnight. 

 

The collective 'we' have p.o'd Mother Nature and she's flexing her muscles.

 

We are prepared to bug-out if there's a mandatory evac notice.  We have friends down in Reno we can go to if necessary, or could go to the Bay Area. The dog is welcome in all those locations 🙂

I can set up shop there & still get most work done.
