"Old" Fire

Sunday brought another fire in East County. For some reason, the media is calling it the "Old Fire." Maybe because it was at Old Hwy. 80? I don't know, but the fire was located near the Golden Acorn Casino, about 7 miles from us. That fire has burned about 900+ acres, including one home. We drove up and took some photos when it first started and then again in the evening. The fire had spread so much that they closed Old Hwy. 80. Since we couldn't go that way, we took the freeway so we could see how bad the fire had gotten. Here are some photos.
