California Condor Ethan McMillan 23 April 1964 this Summer. I drove to Lekes and inquired of Condor at the Offices of Tejon Ranch Company there. Walter Zijuth had heard of no Condor recently. I was told here that John Grigsby, the resident engineer of Tejon Ranch and the man with whom we first became associated with at the start of this study on Tejon Ranch, had passed away about two months ago. I applied for, and was given, a key, and permit, to enter the Mendiburu lease on Tejon Ranch from April 28 to May 1, inclusive. No one was home at San Emigdio Ranch as I passed there en route home. At Taft I stopped and purchased groceries for a trip into Big Pine mountain area with Ian tomorrow. Very strong winds were blowing from the west as I passed from Incekillrick to Blackwells Corner. Sand was blowing across roadway in the North and South Bellridge areas. Great clouds of dust were also blowing in the Blackwells Corner area. Some rain fell on the windshield near Blackwells Corner and Gladys McMillan told of light snow falling here at home before I arrived. It was cold.
