Fires are no joke in California. In the mountains where I bike, we had some dingbat allegedly threaten some neighbors and start a small fire to teach them a lesson.
23,000 acres later, the guy is facing life in prison.
I used to bike the area frequently. It is "off limits" for at least a year, after which they will assess whether the area is stable enough to re-allow people to access the trails. I hate to consider what I'm going to find once they allow us back in. The area was my favorite part of Cleveland National Forest and contained a large area of massive oak trees.
Debris Flow in Trabuco Canyon caused by the fire (and why they won't let anyone up the canyon atm) (1:30 is when the guardrail goes)
