44% contained today.... 7/11/08.... I'm hoping for the best
&nbsp\\;
This would ruin my ride!

 

Also watch the weather.&nbsp\\; We are cooling down and that means a breeze will come in form the ocean which clears out the smoke.&nbsp\\; It is not too bad today compared to a few days ago.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;Two days ago the air quality index was over 300.&nbsp\\; That is way off the scale of very unhealthy!!&nbsp\\;

 

Highway 1 is open again... but I have no idea what the conditions are as far as debris and air quality go.

 

Good news.... hopefully in 16 days the conditions will be much better....
&nbsp\\;
I guess I should pickup some sort of a mask to wear in that area just in case it's smokey, anyone have any suggestions?
&nbsp\\;
Is there a good website to monitor to view air quality conditions?

 

EDIT: Found a site here: http://www.weather.com/outlook/healt...y/?state=CA#CA

 

Any updates on the conditions? 11 days to go....
