Markley Cove resort has a marina, cabins, a store and boat rentals. Chad Frazier of the resort said business has been pretty slow for the past couple of days. “We’re open and ready to go,” he said. “Obviously, we’re being somewhat affected by smoke, but that’s about it. The fire is across the lake from us a couple of miles away. For us, it hasn’t had any effect.” People coming on the Fourth of July might have the lake to themselves on a day when it’s usually packed, he said. “We’d be glad to see them,” Frazier said. “If someone’s adventurous, this would be a great time to come.” Spanish Flat resort is on the west side of Lake Berryessa and had no evacuation advisory as of Tuesday. Operator Craig Morton said visitors were still coming, though the resort had a few cancellations. “The fire is on the east side of the lake and shouldn’t bother us … a little soot and a little smoke,” Morton said. “We’re open.”<doc-sep>EVACUATION ORDERS, ROAD CLOSURES: NAPA COUNTY, Calif.
