The Tea Fire, Team Chicken Ranch Was On The Scene

Steve Otero, braved the fire area and had this to say. Steve, thanks for the photos and I like you am praying for all the people and if we can help, shout out!

Hello again.

Don’t mean to spam you but thought you might like to see today’s shots. Quite revealing under the daylight. Also, quite sad when you see all the lost homes.

Take care,
Steve

As you may have heard, Santa Barbara is in the middle of a huge fire in the Montecito and Riviera areas. So you know, our house is far from danger here on the Mesa.

Last night I rode my motorcycle around and got these shots. As you can tell, I was in the thick of it. For those that you know the areas, these were taken primarily from Las Alturas road. The last few are from the Rattlesnake Trail area and Sheffield Resevoir.

I hope the best for all our friends in these areas. Please let me know if there is anything we can do.

Steve

Photos From Jalama

With a big weekend of racing coming up in I.V. and Ojai, I thought I would put up some cool photos that Mr. Steve Otero sent around. For those of you that don't know, he is also a very avid Kiteboarder. They are terrific photos and remind me of why we live in this wonderful part of the world. Good Luck to everyone racing this weekend!



Just one of the many reasons I drive "all the way" to Jalama to kiteboard.
Gotta love the springtime!!!!
Hope all is well,
steve
