Smoke from 1,200-Acre "Mill Fire" in Colusa County Seen from Napa

It would take about three and a half hours to drive from Napa to the Mendocino State Forest in Colusa County. But some Napans have noticed the column of smoke from a wildfire there that has reportedly consumed more than 1,200 acres. Have you seen it?

Smoke from a wildfire in Colusa County has been visible from Napa. Have you seen it? 

According to the Lake County News, the "Mill Fire," near the Mill Valley Campground in the Mendocino State forest, "was sparked on Saturday afternoon, and remained the focus of an aggressive firefighting effort on Sunday."

The fire had consumed about 1,200 acres by Sunday night, according to the report.

Obama had nothing to do with this. Michael I hate to tell you this but the only people who think…Read More there is anything much toward Obama in all these scandals are hard core conservatives who have been trying to pin something/anything on him since before he got the first Presidential nomination. I read the Tea Party stuff every day and it is a full court press on anything they can conjure up to blame on Obama and after a while it is a case of crying wolf on a daily basis and everyone else just tunes it out. Which is too bad because there are actually some things he ought to be criticized for, but his opposition is so constantly ridiculously over the top that before the Republicans even speak you already know it is either an exaggeration or totally fabricated. They have no credibility left, at least with me.

Keri, I have heard from the tech people, and my instructions were to clear cache, erase cookies,…Read More reboot, etc. All things having to do with my computer, not with the website. I get the same issues on two different computers at different homes as well as my iPad that is logged on anywhere. Pretty sure it is not on my end. There are far too many things that are a step down from previous site. Examples: Can't seperate paragraphs in comments, no "reply" option on comments makes it difficult to know who is responding to whom, itty-bitty profile avatars smaller than a pea, green on everything makes features less distinguishable, on and on.
