[jas8313 at adelphia.net (JAMES)]

latest info 11pm fri.. 5 different fires are still burning.  only the Lytle
Creek Fire is near the PCT...
it being about 5 or more miles south of the section out of Cajon Pass
towards Wrightwood...

the Santa Ana winds blow from the deserts down hill thru the valleys
towards los angeles etc...
so are pushing the fire away from the PCT.  as the blow down hill it heat
up and increase
in mph due to being pushed thru the narrow canyons...

this is a RED FLAG ALERT in the mts... temp in the 90's - 10 to 15 humity
and winds 20 to 30 mph...
the winds in the past have hit 60 and higher...but still remail low...
alert thru tuesday atleast...
