Old San Marcos/Painted Cave/154

Keely/Traves/me went on a little drive yesterday to sample live fuel moisture (LFM) in the front range. I noted in one of the Jesusita posts that LFM is very high right now down in the Santa Monica Mountains where LA county fire samples it, but we went to check it here. The veg looked really happy, it's really amazing that it burned -- but when it's windy anything is possible.
From lower Painted Cave Rd., burn scar center-right, but lots of happy veg, too.
Fire line on E Camino Cielo
Big Scar coming down the 154
Right up to the road, it crossed in one place
Interesting islands of unburned veg, I think that's the high LFM signal
