[QUOTE="dcarver, post: 1403058, member: 956"] [URL="https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/08/08/dardanelle-holy-jim-tahquitz-landmarks-fire-zone/"]Maybe not as bad as thought?[/URL] Orange County’s last known grizzly bear was killed in Holy Jim in 1908, having won the enmity of the beekeepers by raiding their hives. At least 13 cabins have burned in the first two days of the fire. Because the area has been declared a flood plain, the Cleveland National Forest may not allow the leaseholders to rebuild. Dardanelle ResortThe fire: Donnell, along Highway 108 west of Sonora Pass. Started Aug. 1. Now 13,814 acres (21 square miles) and 5 percent contained. The history: The resort — a restaurant and bar, a store, motel and cabins — dates back to 1923, and has operated as a year-round resort, drawing flocks of snowmobilers in the winter. Its most recent owners bought it in May. On Monday, when it was reported that the whole complex had burned, they posted a photo of the rubble with the single word “heartbroken.” [COLOR=#ff0000][B]Since then, though, they have gotten the news that the motel still stands.[/B][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
