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.
