Hi Jilly. If you look at the SCM live streaming cam, you will see that the smoke from the prescribed burn is impacting in a wide area.

Just came up Arctic circle. Saw the fire, it doesn't seem to be anywhere near the prescribed burn.

SteveG- even funnier is that it USED to say Arctic Canyon Wash!! Floods wiped it out one year and when the county reinstalled it a worker had apparently decided it should be spelled Artic. If you check the map you'll find ARCTIC Canyon Rd both in Big Bear and in Lucerne- yep, leads to that wash.

I usually just lurk here, but the "Arctic" discussion leads me to mention that on Hwy 18 down to Lucerne Valley, just a ways past the Mitsubishi mine area, there's a creek that runs under a bridge on the highway, and it's labeled "Artic Canyon Wash". Cracks me up every time I drive past.

I sound like a native Alaskan when I pronouns it correctly! Thank you Nuthatch ! Now let’s work on my English and auto correct.
