A pair of Mountain Quail with several freshly hatched young were in the small glass covered opening near the river-bed when we returned to our horses. Returning to Southfork Camp by sunset we found supper been prepared by Ranger Norris, John Holman and VanceWeb Bob Marshall was fishing and returned later than we. A supper we all discussed matters of forest management and human needs. Ranger Norris is firmly convinced the his time as forest Ranger of the Coyama district is best served by developing the out-of-the-way place whereby more people can get to them more easily. He held quantitative values far above qualitative values and the reason he gave for this is that the Forest Service allocate him funds on the amount of human usage his area receives; therefore the more people he can get to the Sisquoc or surrounding areas, the more money he will be given to spend on further development and therefore the bigger his force will become and the more impact his office will be. Mr. Norris spoke of his having led a former group into the Sisquoc River, South Fork Guard Station, to acquaint them with his development plan. He also has a group ready to take in soon as he gets organized again. Fire closure of all areas south and west of Sierra Madre Ridge takes effect July 1st. Probably he will have to accomplish this task before that date. There is every indication here that Ranger Norris is completely on his own as far as plans for the future use of his section of the U.S. Forest Service lands are Provided of course he can secure appropriations to do the work.
