Who would have thought that Fiance and I would have to make wedding contingency plans owing to FIRE!?
Los Padres National Forest - Current Conditions
This past Saturday an unusual thunderstorm formed and its lightning strikes caused many wild fires across California. On a clear day, I can look up and see 3 major smoke plumes. One such fire that started Saturday, called the Basin Complex Fire, is located right b/t the 2 state parks we're using for our wedding ceremony and bbq reception. They're both close enough to the fire that they're both closed (to keep people out). Thankfully neither park is affected (read: on fire) ... yet.
The wedding is 101 days away (who's counting!?) so hopefully the fire can be contained in a reasonable amount of time and space. Its currently at 3% containment and has burned ~7,000 acres.
