... Saturday's fire, that is. The good thing, indeed, is that it was right by a track in Griffith Park - that would explain why it was so easy to get vehicles there. The bad news is that it was right by a track ... and the crushed beer cans under the foliage suggest that it's very likely that there was a little encampment there. We saw one guy walking away from us with back pack and bed roll and a lot of shouting: we suspect that the unhoused are increasingly finding shelter there, coming up from the tent city that's growing along Riverside Drive.
PSA: don't think that it's a good idea to head for a little hike in Griffith Park between meeting with a grad student and setting up a Zoom job candidate talk. There really isn't the time that you hope there is, although the rapid pace at which you'll have to power-walk up the hill home will persuade you that you've had plenty of exercise ...
