Just a quick note to let you know that we're now parked back at Fisherman's Retreat in San Timoteo Canyon, south of the City of Redlands. The Esperanza Fire that you're all hearing about on the news is just under ten miles away from us - but we're west of it, and it's moving south, at this point. We can see the smoke, 1 - Smoke from Esperenza Fire-Our View from here

 and the fire-fighting aircraft are flying over us frequently, but we're feeling pretty safe at this point in time. The reward for the arsonist who started this deadly fire has just been increased to $300,000 - it's so hard to believe that anyone is sick enough to do such a thing. I believe it has already burned over 30,000 acres, four firefighters have died, and a fifth is in extremely serious condition, with over 95% of his body burned, and his lungs are badly compromised.
Looking forward to sharing an Italian Dinner with friends Emily and Brett and their 2-year old, Madeline, and new Baby Charlie 2 - Emiily, Brett, Madeline, and Baby Charlie
