Still safe. It's north of Sonora, which is north-west of the fire. In fact, Sonora is an evacuation shelter site. The L.A. Times has a map of the fire boundaries. http://activefiremaps.fs.fed.us/arcims.php The Fed Govt has a fire incident site that links to much info, including satellite photos of the fire. http://activefiremaps.fs.fed.us/arcims.php Gregg Sent from my iPad On Aug 27, 2013, at 5:06 AM, "Richard Reineccius" <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> wrote: Twain Folks -=0AI haven't yet seen whether the Mark Twain Cabin has been ha= rmed or destroyed by the big RIM FIRE that is still growing, and invading Y= osemite Park.=0ADoes anyone know?=A0 The various news outlets here in Calif= ornia haven't mentioned it, but today they reported that the Berkeley City = Camp in Tuolumne County has been destroyed.=0A=0AWrite me directly, or post= to the list if you know the cabin's [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>= =0A(sent from Oakland, CA)=0A=0ABelow are the words from the CofC about the= cabin.

Sam Clemens had come over the mountains f= rom Virginia City, Nevada, to San Francisco with his friend Steve Gillis.
