Marshall Burning - 'Old' Fire, 25 Oct, 2003

cssAdmin — Sun, 28 May 2006 12:23:13 -0500

First day of the 'Old' fire, Oct25, 2003. It's still blowing from the north at this time and the front of Marshall and the LZ are being consumed. Later the wind switched and the fire cam to within 1/4 mile of the webcam, burning along the front of Crestline /ridge up to launch.

The fire led to the need for the fence along 2N40 out to Marshal

Little Mountain
From 1971 through 1976 there was ever increasing flight traffic at a 500 foot hill in
San Bernardino called Little Mountain (by the radio towers) with only the really daring
pilots launching from the Camp Paivika parking lot out into Devil Canyon. Pine Flat was
the better place to get a mountain flight because of the better glide to the valley but
the road was challenging.
