California Condor Elben McMillan 15 June 1964 Station in New Cuyama, Measuring the distance on the way. It turned out to be one mile from the Forest Service Station to the Place where the Condor remains were found. Ranger Morse admitted knowledge of the Condor Carcass that we had taken possession of today. He thought it was about four years ago that the Condor, on the fence, was brought to his attention. Ranger Morse was reviewing Ian on his thinking regarding the need to construct the Sisquoc Madre Ridge Road when I returned. After discussing the Condor Carcass incident momentarily they returned to the Sisquoc Madre Ridge Road subject. Mr. Morse said that on Easter Week weekend Thirty people were camped at South Fork Guard Station. These people had hiked in from some distance. The hike in taking four or five hours and the hike out taking the same. This only allowed these people a short time to fish over the weekend, and concentrated a great number of people at one time in one place. "Now when you have 30 people in one campground like South Fork Guard Station you don't have a wilderness" Ranger Morse said. "Now when this road is built people can drive within an hour at the Sisquoc River, hike down and camp, fish all day, then fish the next day and return to their car in the evening and drive home," Mr. Morse stated. This situation, he thought, would scatter the people so that at no time would there be 30 campers at one place on a weekend. "Of course," he said, "the first year or two there would be thousands until the new wore off then things would settle down to a wilderness situation".
