Description
So far 18,000 acres are burning. These were taken from my front poarch last evening.
My other property in Pioneertown has burned, but so far my house here in Joshua Tree is ok.
Four fires from lightning strikes have burned into one. & there are 3 more fires burning in the area. Its been around 110* & high winds, natural to the area, & it is burning in a natural wind tunnel. This one started up from a 400 acre fire hot spot yesterday & grew so fast I went out to water down my house. Pioneertown is an old movie set built in the 40s & many of the old westerns were shot there. So far the historical buildings have been saved. & people do live there. Many people know of Pappy & Harriet's Pioneertown Palace & luckily, its still there.
Anyway, I thought you might like to see some pics.
Edit*
As of 8 am this morning, the fire has burned nearing 35,000 acres.
