We were evacuated last week, but everything is OK and we are back in our house. I think the bigger long term bummer (on a cycling related note) is that all of the great mtb trails around us are going to be closed for a very long time. I had just started mountain biking and had ridden Brown Mtn for the first time a few weeks ago -- I was planning on buying a mountain bike this weekend, but think I'm going to put that off. The forest service is saying that Brown Mountain & Chaney Trail will be closed at least through the rainy season, and possibly longer than that.
