I'll take credit for putting the map and data together.
ArcMap is an incredible program but the learning curve is intensive.

People say that fire has never been in Wrightwood proper but it has.  I've seen several giant Cedars that had "Cat Eyes" burned into their bases which could have only happened with fire on the ground.  Sadly, the two trees I used to share with folks were cut down over the past 45 years.

Jim I've also seen a few trees that show burn scars and believe one of them is still standing. Do you think those could be lightning strikes rather than wildfire? 

I'll see if I can get a photo.
