Type II fun in San Gorgonio

Apple fire sort of affected the weekend plans. It was supposed to be a one night training hike with the wife, turned into a 9 mile hike out, in the dark, after a 2700 foot 9 mile hike in...

edit: it started on Oak Glen Rd, hence the Apple connection.

We could start a rumor that it was started by an exploding iPhone...

The first report I heard of that fire the word Apple was not used a day or 2 ago. When I saw this post I had to check if it was another new fire.
