[RC] Calif. burning up - beth glover

Its everywhere! I am just getting nauseated from hearing the bad news. Every single person that I know, knows somebody who has been evacuated or lost a house. Everyone. And because we have so many friends with horses, and they all live in rural type areas, all of our horse friends are touched by the fires here in California. 

Does anyone know any information about Cheryl and Steve Erpelding in Descanso? She is editor of Riding magazine? I heard that their town is completely engulfed by fire, and don't know if its a rumor. 

 Two of our friends have called to check in, and their houses are still there in San Bernardino and Alta Loma, but neighbors are burnt up. We are still unable to reach a friend in Crestline, and worrying about two friends in Big Bear as well.  

There was a fire years back that devastated the area by Pasadena, its Eaton Canyon, and they reported that some jackass started a fire there yesterday in the same area...and they caught him red handed. So now I hear that the forests are closed for recreation. Eaton Canyon, well...everywhere that my friends and me ride, is either closed or burned up.   The fire passed over the ranch in La Verne (Marshall canyon)  that we were called to evacuate on Sunday. They got bulldozer and dug a deep trench around the perimeter and filled it with gel/foam? and they saved the ranch. Not the houses around there though. The Marshall canyon trails are completely destroyed, trees are down and burned. Sherwood forest is gone. Its a moonscape I am told.  This is going to affect us for at least a year, maybe more. Not to mention the poor families who have lost their homes, their dreams....

Thank you to everyone for posting information on ridecamp, its an invaluable resource at this time.

Thank you, Beth Glover
