Anyone know any details? Not much available in the news articles I've found.
I take it that it's a fair distance away from the base/bike route through the camp? Any restrictions or air quality issues around there?

Damn taped Wimbeldon coverage. Why even bother with that crap...
I guess we'll know at 5. typically, though, the fires happen in the eastern parts of the base and are blown farther east. The only way I can see it affecting access is if they are having to route fire fighting vehicles through the western areas wihtout wanting to run over folks on bikes.
Camp Pendleton contains about 200 square miles of land...

Well... Apparently it's not big enough to be newsworthy.

Yankee is on the eastern side.

Cool, thanks. That's what I figured, but wasn't sure. Appreciate the confirmation!
I rode through the base this morning and didn't see anything except fog.

Cool, a couple of us may be heading through there tomorrow, time permitting.
Appreciate the update!!
