For those of you who have been following events on the news with regards to the Esperanza Fire you will be comforted to know that Idyllwild, and thus Camp Maranatha, is not in any danger at this time.
Route 243 between Idyllwild and Banning as well as State Highway 79 have been closed to through traffic due to encroachment from the wildfire on that side of the mountain.
The air here at the camp has been a little smokey throughout the day, but otherwise we remain uneffected.
We are expecting three guest groups this weekend with approximately 200 campers in all. We do not intend to cancel this weekend's retreats, as Idyllwild is in no danger at this time.
We would appreciate prayers for the safety of the firemen battling the fire, as well as prayer that the fire would not move further in the direction of Idyllwild.
I will update the blog with any developments as they occur.
