He said he must attend a school in Ojai Tomorrow. a school in fire prevention, he continued. Condor warden Miller has two horses in the lot behind his home. He seems to be a person that admires horses and this over motorbikes. We mentioned not seeing any Toter-Gates or motorbikes about his place. He seemed quite proud in stating that Neither he nor his son, [illegible] who is a fine looking and well built lad of about 17 years, have fallen for the motorbike craze as yet. Warden Miller also told us of seeing 12 Condor, four of which were immature, in the Buckshot area some weeks ago. IAN has the exact date of this from the Report Miller sends in to Headquarters each month. Warden Miller admitted his lack of knowledge about Condor and said he identified the four young Condor, in the above flock of twelve, "by the Book", meaning Kofords report. He said that those without the pure white under the wings he took to be immature birds and entered them as such in his report. Otherwise he has not seen many Condor of late. Warden Miller also stated that he had had very little bother from people coming in on Cow Springs Road. He said that he did stop [illegible] Trail-bikes at the Oak Flat Station some time back and before to let them continue on towards Cow Springs. The reason for his refusal to allow them entry was the type of spark arrestor their machines had would not meet Forest Service,
