Sequoia National Park - Kings Canyon (California, USA) ✈️ p32 ✈️

La zona de Kings Canyon hacia Cedar Grove sigue cerrada. El Visitor Center de Grant Grove lo abrían hoy a las 10:00 supuestamente. Nosotros nos hemos pasado antes y seguía cerrado. En Grant Grove se respira humo por doquier. Yo he dormido con mascarilla. En General Sherman hay muchísimo humo. Nada aconsejable. En el camino del General Sherman solo hemos visto hasta Fallen Monarch. Todos con mascarilla o pañuelos. La carretera está justo cortada después de Grant Grove. En la cabin notábamos el humo.
No paran de subir coches de bomberos. Hasta en S.N.P. Llegaba el humo muy abajo. Las fotos van a salir con halo!
Suerte a los próximos que vayan. Ahora yo no lo aconsejo. Hemos visto mejor las sequoias en el último tramo de S.N.P.

The weather continues to remain cooler with higher
Humidity levels. Smoke will settle in the lower areas and
Valleys leading to Unhealthy or Very Unhealthy air quality.
Decreased fire activity provides an opportunity for crews
To work on lines in all areas.

Veo que hAy evacuación de al menos dos horas de distancia por cedar Grove. Cuando llegue al curro os pego lo que he visto

Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks News Release
Evacuation Warning Issued for the Grant Grove Area of Kings Canyon National Park
SEQUOIA AND KINGS CANYON NATIONAL PARKS, Calif., September 8, 2015 – In response to the current conditions on the Rough Fire, burning in Kings Canyon National Park and the Sierra and Sequoia national forests, the National Park Service is issuing an Evacuation Warning to park employees, concessions staff, residents of Wilsonia, and park visitors in the Grant Grove area north of the junction of Hwy. 180 and the Generals Highway (sometimes referred to as Hwy. 198). The National Park Service is working with the Sheriff’s Departments of both Fresno County and Tulare County to provide the warning notifications.
An Evacuation Warning is defined as, “Alerting of community members in a defined area of a potential threat to life and property from an emergency incident. An Evacuation Warning may be issued when the potential or actual threat to civilian life is more than 2 hours away.”
Currently, there is no immediate threat to Grant Grove, however with the recent fire behavior that has been observed over the past several days, the park management in cooperation with the Rough Fire Incident Management Team believes that the fire could make significant movement in that direction in the near future.
For more information on the Rough Fire, please call 559-332-2028, or visit inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/4456/. Information will also be posted on Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks’ website at www.nps.gov/seki or on the parks’ Facebook at www.facebook.com/SequoiaKingsNPS.
