First, widespread record heat possible this weekend/early next week. Temperatures into 80s and even 90s in some spots." MORE: https://twitter.com/weather_we...

The Reach helicopter landed on Saturday and Sunday this weekend in Inverness. Neither incident appeared to be life threatening, but I'm sure people wondered what was going on. Also something happened in the park on Saturday near Five Brooks that required an emergency response. I never received any details.

Looks pretty spiffy. Wonder if there will be a rush out to see it this weekend. Anyone notice traffic today?

A visitor in Point Reyes reported that their car had been broken into while parked at Muddy Hollow trail this morning. Lock your car and hide your valuables. Also, unrelated, was there a burglary of a laptop and jewelry at a residence on Camino del Mar in Inverness on Monday?

Palace Market, the Bovine and Toby's coffee bar all open in Point Reyes, but only accepting cash. It looks like Inverness Park Market will be open soon. The gas station is CLOSED, so if you don't have a lot of gas, be careful. Looks like some folks already out of gas around town. This power outage could last for days, prepare accordingly.
