@SCM We had a couple of small mudslides on Valley of the Falls in the usual spots, but they got cleaned up pretty fast. I had no problems getting home.

Merry Christmas, friends and neighbors! Be well and stay safe. Applenut, thank you for the reminder of how blessed we are. We have many reasons to be thankful.

Nice day to stay put, you oughta see the traffic on red ant hill...

@Applenut
Well said Apple! We take a lot of things for granted; it could always be worse! Count all your blessings and everyone have a wonderful Christmas holiday! 🎄❄️

God had watched over this valley. The Line and Bradford fires could have overwhelmed us. That storm that wiped out Wrightwood could have easily made it over here and Forest Falls. Warm weather allowed Hwy 38 to be completed months early and just before a big storm. Yes, we'd like more snow for the resorts; but the lake is full, there's food in the grocery stores, gas in the gas stations, socks and underwear at Marshals, and baby chicks at Tractor Supply. We have a hospital, an airport, and 12 Mexican restaurants. Churches were packed last evening, and roads are clear today. We are truly blessed.
