California Condor Eben McMillan 26 November 1963 a well spudded in before the deadline of their lease. It seems that these people had been so confident of getting permission to enter the refuge at this point that they had gone ahead with the constructing of this road for the last four days, before knowing if they would be granted permission to enter the refuge or not. Just from the outside it would appear that nothing has ever happened in the past whereby any opposition has been known to come when demands are made to enter the refuge with a roadway, or else these people have been informed by someone that permission was already forthcoming. We hiked on towards the pickup and arriving at the place where the newly constructed roadway met the private roadway of the Twilight Oil Company we found a D-8 Caterpillar Bulldozer and an International Tractor of some smaller size also with a Bulldozer Blade on it parked where this new road takes off. The fellow who operates the D-8 Cat was overhauling the clutch on the power unit. He told us that he had seen Quail around the flat near where we were on several occasions but that he had not gotten any yet. He had put a Quail up yesterday along the new road he was building but he missed it. He also told us that he has asked permission of Mr. Edwards and Mr. Donlap to hunt on their property but that his request had been denied; but these men had told him he could hunt along the road coming in. Much of this road would be in the Condor refuge and is posted.
