Page 88 - Continued - California Condor 4 June-1962 implicated in promoting the use of Trail Bikes by the U.S. Forest Service, as well as favoring their use on the public lands, by the public, and as being a salesman for the Mr. Parkinson stated, to 9am and 9, that he had asked and been given, 1400 dollars to repair that portion of Pole Canyon Road that continues up on top of Hopper where it goes through the thick brush patch just before to the Gate that is located in this brush patch and the last gate before entering the Condor Refuge, on this Pole Canyon Road, as well as to construct a flat pla where cars proceeding up this road can turn around and return without entering or proceeding past the spot where the Pole Canyon and Percy Jeep Road converge, at this point a berm would be thrown up that would prevent further vehicular traffic along the present Hopper Rim Road past this spot. The Hopper Rim Road could then be "Put To Sleep" as Ranger Parkinson put it, meaning that it would be drained to prevent further erosion that no further use of this road would be permitted to automo traffic, except in case of a fire. Ian and I then drove to Fillmore and stopped at the home of Tackle Gains, whose wife told us he would not back until 5:00 p.m., it being his day off. We then drove up Hopper Canyon to the Percy Ranch - Mr. Percy was just recovering from "The Flu", and still coughed considera We ate lunch with him under the trees in his front yard discussing weather, agricultural and Condor topics, Mr. Percy told us that it had been either foggy or cloudy for the last two months and that he had occasions only been able to see the sun on odd occasions; that he had only seen odd Condor Pass by his ranch area - Percy also stated he had lost very few if any cattle this spring. Finishing our lunch.
