Fires and Forest closures

Okay, with the Caldor Fire to my direct east and all NF closed in California, where can I do some exploring right now without having to pay the $5,000 fine?

pic is of the area just west of Maidens Grave on Hwy 88 a week ago. The area has since been burned and from what I can tell, one of the places that it crossed 88.

 

BLM land, the coast, or not CA .

 

The not CA thing happens next July so I feel you on that answer. The coast does sound nice right now. Cooler than living here in the foothills.

 

Pretty much shut down up here in Shasta. I'm heading for Oregon coast for a week.

That looks amazing! I wish I was closer.

 

In the past two weeks I've gone to Jenner and Big Sur.
There's some great kayaking/paddle boarding on the Russian River and a huge private campground, Casing Ranch.
State parks had lots of camping spots available during the week.

 

The Casing Ranch looks amazing. Gonna go on my list of future camping places!

 

Kayak/Paddle board rentals and public put in at Jenner.

Great claim chowder and food next door right on the river.
They had a singer/musician Sat and Sunday during the day too.
