ADDITIONAL FIRE RESTRICTIONS LOS PADRES NATIONAL FOREST: The Forest Service announced on August 9th some additional fire restrictions. You can read the fine-print at the link here: https://www.fs.usda.gov/Inte/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd546968.pdf but basically: No campfires allowed across the forest. PERIOD. No target shooting allowed outside of Winchester and Ojai Valley (Rose Valley) Gun Clubs.... No camp stoves outside of designated Campfire Use Sites. Yes, that means no hot coffee or stove cooking for backcountry travelers! Obviously 2018 has already been a horrendous wildfire year with more than 15 large fires currently burning across California. So far (knock, knock) the LP has avoided any large fires this season and lets hope it stays that way. Be safe everyone! See more
