California Condor
5-June 1963
go about getting to see it, or if he had been told not to show this
map to us, or if he had the authority to do so without order
from the Santa Barbara Office. I specifically asked
Mr. Gains if he had shown us the locations of all
whiteacre
nest sites he knew in the Hopper Canyon and
areas as well as any others that we had passed by
when we were with Mr. Gains on 22 and 23 May-1963.
Mr. Gains said Yes, that he had shown us all the loca-
he knew of in these areas... If this is so then Jack
does not know where the upper Whitacre Peak Nest is
the nest site that is to the East and in sight of Squ
Flat, nor the location of any of Kofoed's Nests in
the Hopper Canyon area. For the nest sites we ha
located from Kofoed's photographs were not pointed
out to us by Jack Gains - Either Gains was lying
to us, or else he does not know the location of
these host sites.
Jack Gains told us that 500 dollars had been allocate
for widening the road that goes along Hopper Canyon &
from the point where the Pacey Jeep Road and the Pole
Canyon Road Converge, out to the place where we
turned his Forest Service Pickup around on 22 May this
is about 100 feet Southwest of the rocks at the
roadside on the West Side of Kofoed's Lookout Point.
Mr. Gains told us he had personally made the estimate
of construction costs of this project and that he
would personally supervise its construction, and that he
Mr. Gains had gotten the bids for this construction
project. This job would include widening out the
present Hopper Rim Road and bulldozing out a wide
area where automotive vehicles could turn around - the
closing off further access to the Hopper Rim road from
Kofoed's Lookout Point on north.
