[RC] Patriot Ride and Moonlight Fire - unofficial info - sherman
Ooops, my finger hit the wrong button on that first one! Let’s try
again…
I know that many riders are wondering about whether the ride
is going to be cancelled due to the nearby Moonlight Fire. If you go to www.yubanet.com and look at Today’s
News – Plumas, NF, then go
about three-quarters down that new page, you can see a satellite photo of the
smoke plume. As long as the winds is blowing the smoke, whether it’s to
the northeastor
to the southeast, it still leaves Greenville area clear.
I just talked to Cassandra and they will make a decision
this afternoon, as early as possible. The reason nothing has been said yet, is
that the trails, town, roads, etc., have not been impacted by the fire. The
wind has been taking the smoke away, the first day to Susanville and on to Nevada, Idaho & Oregon. Then the
winds shifted and the smoke went south towards Auburn, Sac, etc.
Cassandra said to come to the ride & get out of the smoke! (:>) She has
to find out if any spot fires during the night will change things, but as of
now, she’s thinking it is still a possibility that the conditions will be
good.
Either Cassandra or Centella will
put a note on ridecamp when a final decision is made
this afternoon.
