The good news is that it looks like my house in Felton, in the Santa Cruz
mountains will be spared from the fire.
The bad news: My friend Pete who races the ZomBee MGB in LeMons wrote a
heartbreaking story about nearly saving his house, and just barely escaping.
The funny: We started packing when we went on evacuation warning, we didn't
wait until mandatory evacuation. When Dick and Rochelle Nyquist (who I first
met through the SOL list 30 years ago) barely escaped from a fire a few years
back, that was a real wake up call. I already had a mental checklist of most of
the high priority stuff to pack into my van. When the van was full, we still
hadn't gotten the mandatory evac notice, so I started packing the trailer.
I've been storing Jasmine, my BGT, in the trailer. I don't have the resources
to finish getting her back on the road, and I need the garage for other work.
Unloading the MG from the trailer would have taken more time than I felt I had,
so I grabbed the blower, and a couple of other key pieces, put them in the
passenger seat and just packed around her.
A friend in Santa Cruz is letting me store the car at his place, so now I even
have room in the trailer and have cleared out most of the stuff from our other
cars.
