Rustic Canyon and Simi fires?
« on: October 30, 2019, 07:43:20 PM »
Anyone got any intel on the status of Rustic Canyon?  It’s not far from the Reagan Library and those fires look really fast moving.

James,


I live in Moorpark and fortunately Rustic is north of the fire.  Winds are out of the northeast so it should be good.  We will have to see about Tierra Rejada as that’s in the evacuation zone.

Very good.  I can imagine that valley with fires all around and 40 mph.

If it was Augusta, or TOC, or Cypress, or Dornoch that was threatened by a natural disaster, the golf world would care. 


I think Rustic Canyon is a treasure and don’t want to lose it.

If the fire burned through Rustic, the course would still be there waiting for the grass to grow

I am waking up in Maine with the sound of The Atlantic Ocean in the distance. I would have similar thoughts of Cape A, Prouts Neck, and Goose Rocks Beach during a hurricane. It does not mean that I don't care about Secretary Moore, his family, and friends.

#103 - Rustic Canyon ;)


Assuming the Pacific Ocean is still there, I will be back in Pacific Beach next July 4th, and I will finally play Torrey Pines North!!

Rustic Canyon seems to have been spared as the Santa Ana winds are blowing the fires away from the course. TBD if I'll get out to Rustic tomorrow, but I'll update this thread if I do.

However the new Maria fire that flared up last night seems to be on a direct path towards Saticoy. I wish the Ventura Country Fire Department all the best as they battle these fires.
