Now you're getting me mad...

The fires posted below by Kamo in California have made the news. The fire (left panel below) is running NW of Morengo Valley, CA, and has burned out parts of Pioneertown. The map on the right shows the approximate position of Morengo Valley and the fire (X).

Why do I care? Because this is where Roy Rogers filmed many of his 1950's movies and some of the movie sets are gone. This is where the Cisco Kid movies were filmed as well. Hope that the wind turns.... "Oh, Pancho...Oh, Cisco..."
