Nowhere near it. Roaring Camp runs out of Felton. Davenport is quite aways north up Highway 1 from santa Cruz. The Swanton Pacific ranch railroad (part of the Cal Poly ranch) is right next door to the CDF station on Swanton Road and I think has been well taken care of. The fire is 60% contained, 7000 acres, Bonny Doon residents returned but 400 Swanton residents still not allowed back. We've had lots of smoke and haze here in the Salinas area.
