Twenty five years ago, when I began this outdoor\u00a0web site for California, did I ever imagine ‘times like these’ – where we would be held up inside our homes during summer, as annual wildfires destroyed our vast and beautiful forests. Frightened to breathe the toxic, smokey air outside. Saddened by news of yet another town or historic structure burning to the ground. Checking the destruction daily online, in hopes of more containment, fresh photos or any good report.<\/p>\n

Now I fear Total Escape \u00a0may become photographic documentation of how beautiful California once was.<\/h4>\n

Most California National Forest are currently closed!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lassen Volcanic National Park<\/strong> is CLOSED due to damages from the Dixie Fire.<\/p>\n

In case you missed it: 2020 was the worst year for wildland fires<\/strong> in California history, but 2021 is shaping up to be just as bad. Many forests, roads, trails, campgrounds and parks listed below have been closed to the public for the 2021 season, and possibly longer.<\/p>\n
