King Fire, Eldorado NF, CA - Rubicon Trail in Danger

[tobyw]

I don’t know how many of you are paying attention to the King fire down in the Eldorado National Forest, CA, but you probably should be… In addition to it simply being a horrible disaster all around, it’s also threatening one of our great treasures – the Rubicon Trail. Current info on the fire can be found here: http://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/4108/

Perhaps the worst part about all of this is that it appears to be a case of arson. They already have a guy in custody with bail set at $10M. Here is a picture I took from my first trip to the Rubicon in 2013, from a spot just East of Uncle Tom’s Cabin on Wentworth Springs Road:



Here is what that same area looks like this morning:



It’s a damn shame.

That pathetic, no good, POS needs to be. . .well. . .

Expedite the trial and, if guilty, drop him in the middle of the fire.
