I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

Well, not Sierra specific, but the Rocky fire here in nearby Lake county is at 22,500 acres. 
Rocky Fire
#RockyFire [update] east of Lower Lake (Lake County) is now 22,500 acres & 5% contained. http://cdfdata.fire.ca.gov/incidents/in ... nt_id=1161
My step-daughter and family live in Hidden Valley Lake about 7 km from the fire , so it's starting to get scary. depends on the wind now.
EDIT: grew to 60,000 acres..
EDIT again 8/4: now at 101 square miles. Jumped highway 20 and still heading North. 24 houses destroyed, 6900 under threat.

Re: 2015 Fire & Smoke Reports
Yeah, it has been another bad year. The entire northern half of San Gorgonio Wilderness burned down here in socal. Forest like that is a unique thing down here so it was devastating for the locals.
