Ray,

Great photos and great reporting. Glad to see the Indy is on top of this new fire.

Here we go again. Last year, at this time, we had the Zaca, now the Gap.

Let's hope this one does not go the same direction.

Your pano with the burn overlay and arrows showing the various topographical landmarks is excellent. It helps readers orientate to the backcountry areas as referenced in your article.

Thanks for keeping us posted on this fire's progress until the last ember is out. I look forward to future articles on the healing process that has begun and will continue in these two wildernesses.

Finally, I think I will sleep a little better tonight....

Thanks for this encouraging article, Ray.

Ray,

Thanks for your frequent updates on the Zaca Fire. Your pictures and the enlarged fire map help me to keep track of this fire burning through some very special parts of the Los Padres National Forest. Keep up the good reporting.
