Good News From Running Springs

I don't know why I'm so invested in a house that I don't own and can't even use anymore, but when it looked like a former vacation getaway in Running Springs had burned down yesterday morning, I was pretty sad (we had used that house one or more times a year for nearly 25 years and spent many a Christmas vacation enjoying the snow up there). I just saw some good news on RimOfTheWorld.net which has been posting regular updates about what's going on in the firefight on the mountain:

We had a confirmation from a fire fighter that Overhill Drive and Onacrest Drive in Running Springs is in pretty good shape. There was property damage toward the east ends of those roads, but the majority of the homes on those streets were in good shape as of 8:00 last night (Tuesday night).

The house is in the middle of Overhill Drive, and Onacrest runs behind it. That's great news for the current homeowner and for those of us who would really hate to see it lost.
