California Condor - Eben McMillan 26 November 1963 ad Eagle-shot. found the carcass of a dead immature Golden Eagle near the Kern County, San Luis @bispo County line, that had been Shot and left near the side of the road where Havin had found and buried it. Waldo Abbott, Cliff Smith and probably other members of the museum staff are very much in favor of the proposed highway along the crest of Sierra Madre Ridge from Bates Canyon to Santa Barbara Canyon - They feel this will open up an area to many people who otherwise would never be able to see it. Their argument sounds good only that I think before this should be debated that everyone in favor of this roadway should be forced to visit the site at the top of Dry Lakes Ridge where the dirt road turns off highway 399 towards Rose Valley. Condor use the Sierra Madre Ridge as a flyway - a public road would bring additional hazards to a vanishing species and bring only New Toy benefits to a public who only want new areas to pass over; for any roadway they have used, for any length of time, soon turns into a blighted, defaced passageway, left to bikers to clean up. The Frazier Mountain - Grade Valley - Liebre Mountain areas are good examples of this. There is enough country blighted by roads now. Let's leave things be until people offer proof that they will appreciate those things. The Forest Service should not be allowed to send their Personnel out to clean up behind the public other than to furnish garbage cans for the disposal of such. This must come before new area should be opened up. Perhaps in another later generation this could be done and things remain respectfully; but not now. This thinking is necessary
