Today I was in
Atascadero for a few hours visiting mom and helping her a little bit. While up town running an errand I was in awe with how dramatic the
Chimney Fire west of
Paso Robles appeared from the main thoroughfare of town, to wit, El Camino Real (known to many locals as ECR for brevity). As the fire blew up this afternoon, finally exceeding 11,000 acres, it was visible right up the street looking northwestwards. It has essentially made its way into the eastern reaches of the
Santa Lucia Mountains and will be around for awhile.
