According to KCOY, a body has been found in the search area around the Cerro Alto trail for a missing hiker. Apparently the body “has yet to be identified” as Lance Erik Leage from Morro Bay.
On my way by the area via highway 41 I stopped just long enough to catch this image of the base of the trail.
Tonight after 7PM a structure fire occurred on Propeller Lane adjacent to the Paso Robles Airport. The fire was (very) near a chemical plant. Paso FD responded along with mutual aide from Cal Fire. The area was blocked off for obvious safety reasons by Paso PD. The fire was “contained” shortly after 9PM.
Here are a couple of blogs with frequently updated eye witness accounts of the fires around Big Sur.

Gleaned this from the CHP site; appears as though another fire has started on the Cachuma Pass area.
