Chuchupate 904 California Condor Eben McMillan / October 1964 While I was in Plisco's Office he discussed promoting A ski lift on Mt. Pinos. He said they were trying to get someone interested in a ski lift there. Obviously a great part of the activities of officials of Las Padres National Forest is directed towards promoting more public use of this area. The defence of deer hunters by Plisco showed strong evidence of sympathy for anything that will bring more people into his area. Ranger Williams who preceded Plisco as Ranger at Chuchupate was the only district ranger we have met that felt people should be held from using the public lands as much as possible unless their attitude of destructiveness improves. Condor 22 September 1964 Tomboots of U.S. Forest Service saw 2 Condor on Tecuya Ridge. Condor 21 August 1964 Tomboots saw six Condor above Mill Potrero, on north side of Mt. Pinos. Three bird watching ladies from Los Angeles whom Boots told, later in the day, of seeing the six Condor went to the top of Mt. Pinos and claimed to have seen 11 Condor in one flock and 8 Condor in another flock. I would be very much inclined to think these ladies saw the same Condor on the second sighting Following is the list of Observation of Condor the uphams have made since 6 September 1964 - 9/6/64 - 12:10 --- 1 --- Flying directly over lookout 9/7/64 - 09:35 --- 1 --- Circling over east Frazier Mt. 9/8/64 -- 13:20 --- 1 --- Flying over Mutch Flats -
