For those who are planning to go to the swap meet from southern California. The news says they are evacuating Castaic because of a brush fire. I haven't heard whether I-5 has been closed or not, however it would be a good idea to check in advance before leaving for Tulare in case you need to take a different route.

I live just south of Castaic and drive past there to Bakersfield every day and back. I saw the smoke yesterday afternoon but didn't see anything this morning going north. Probably a good idea to check anyway to make sure it doesn't flair up again.
