Santa Barbara 13 June 19 Continued - California Condor so in the Service, for Mr. Crouch felt most young men in the employee of the Forest Service would not want to be left alone, as must a Condor Warden. The Young people of today need someone to talk to. Mr. Crou thought up at least to be entertained, he brought this out by saying how one will see Young fellows walking the street with a transistor Radio in their hand listening to it as they walk. Mr. Crouch thought Jack Gains well pleased with the Condor Warden Job. He also stated that in the Forest Service one had to move to get promoted in so the Condor Warden's job had little future as a raise in pay. This Mr. Crouch thought was a factor in Young fellows not wanting to work at this job. We left Santa Barbara at 12:10 p.m., and arrived in Paso Robles where we left Van Off at 2:45 p.m. I called alonezo woods, of Bryson are, from Hall's sporting goods store, wanting to find if he would be home next Sunday afternoon. Should he would have to work. Entering the Palo Prieta Canyon I noticed the Cholame Ranch Yearling Heifers eating the Loco Weed that grows to the South of the road as one enters this Canyon after crossing the bridge. This is the tall astragalus (Asymmetricus) and it is now well seeded. The heifers were passing through the plants popping the Pod as they ate them. The continual sound of the poppy Pods made a queer sound to me. [illegible] [illegible]
