Kristeen Penrod of the South Coast Missing Linkages Project will present a powerpoint program that explains the processes that were followed in determining the important wildlife corridors remaining in our state, precious corridors that need all the protection possible.
As explained in the Executive Summary of the South Coast Missing Linkages Report, "habitat loss and fragmentation are the leading threats to biodiversity." Our state is considered one of the 25 Hotspots on this earth needing protection.
One might think that the masses of already developed areas would make it impossble to establish corridors in Southern California. But to the contrary, if steps are taken NOW, corridors can be maintained because there are many private, semi-private, and public lands that are already restricted from development. They just need connecting.
As you may have guessed, one of the major possibilities for a linkage is through the Tejon Ranch lands. The question now arises as to whether the lands designated at this point by the Trust for Public Lands for purchase will adequately serve as a viable wildlife corridor, if at all.
Ms. Penrod’s explanation of the corridors, how they were determined, their locations and other related information will help us understand the biological threats that this area faces when considering proposed development.
Following her presentation there will be ample time for questions. We urge you all to mark your calendars now and plan to attend this meeting.
Remember, meeting time is 7:30, Sept 6th. No potluck is involved for this meeting. More info? Call Mary Ann Lockhart, 661.242.0432
All are welcome to join us for a carefully prepared informational talk concerning our neighbor, Tejon Ranch. In his presentation Prof. Jan de Leeuw will give an overview of the plans to develop housing in the Tejon Ranch area, from the end of the nineteenth century to the present. "We will try to determine why previous planned developments were not realized, and how we can learn from this to conserve as much of the Ranch as possible in current and future development."
This program of great interest is one you will surely not want to miss.
Potluck will begin at 6 PM. Bring a dish to serve and your own table service. And of course here it is in "code": ----- ---- -- - ------! (Bring in the answer for a free raffle ticket!)
The Pool Pavilion Room is the place to be on Saturday, October 1st. Yes, we look forward to seeing you, A and B.

Sept 24 (sat) MT. PINOS TO BOY SCOUT CAMP ROAD. 8 AM We will began the hike at the Chula Vista parking lot on Mt. Pinos and hike to the summit. From there we will take the peak-to-peak trail past Sawmill Mt., from there down to Sheep Camp, Lilley Meadows and the Three Falls. The hike is approximately 11 miles in length; however, it is mostly downhill. Because of its length it is recommended only for experienced hikers. Bring ample snacks and lots of water. Because we will need to arrange for transportation both to Chula Vista and at the pickup point, we must ask that you sign up at least three days before the hike. PMC residents should meet at the parking lot at 8 AM, hikers coming from the east can arrange to meet us at the Y at about 8:15.
Oct 1st (sat) TEJON RANCH FROM BEALE TO BOOM TOWNS Presented by Jan de Leeuw. 6 PM Potluck 7 PM Program. Bring a dish to share and your own dinner service. Pool Pavilion Room, PMC. See you there.
Oct 22 (sat) 8 AM. OUR ANNUAL HIKE TO WIND WOLVES. This is our annual hike from PMC down the old Camino Viejo, along the San Emigdio Creek bed. The hike is approximately 12 miles in length, and for most of the hike there is no trail. Although the hike is entirely downhill, it can be quite difficult because of its length and its lack of a defined trail. It is recommended only for experienced hikers. There is an altitude drop of over 4000 feet, with some spectacular views and plenty of bushwhacking. The hike will end at the Crossings, a beautiful campground in Wind Wolves Preserve. Bring plenty of water and lunch and wear long pants. The brush can be quite a challenge. Be sure to sign up for the hike at least 3 days in advance because transportation to the trail head and back from Wind Wolves must be arranged. Call Dale, 661.242.1076 or Ches, 661. 242.0423.
Oct 22 (sat) The Forest Service will present the Four Forest Plan at an Open House on Saturday, Oct 22 at the Frazier Park Community Center. The time is 10 AM to 2 PM.

Nov 2nd Fall Chapter Get-together. Bakersfield. See p. 4 for details.
Nov 26 (sat) 8AM. THORN PEAK LOOKOUT. For our last hike of the season, we will drive down Lockwood Valley, through Grade Valley to Thorn Meadow. From Thorn Meadow campground we will climb Thorn Peak to an old Forestry Service lookout. It is a quite short hike, approximately 7 miles round trip, with an elevation gain of about 2500 feet. There are spectacular views on the climb to the peak, and even more spectacular views to the south on a clear day. On such a day the Pacific Ocean and the Channel Islands are easily visible. No guarantees on this, but hope for clear weather. Bring plenty of water and lunch.
Dec 4th (sat) Holiday Party. 6 PM Pool Pavilion Room, PMC At this writing, one cannot predict exactly what special features we might have, if any, but it surely will be a time for cheery greetings, new friends and old enjoying each other’s company, And, of course, good things to eat. And probably, more than likely, white elephants to exchange with other persons. We’ll send you a postcard reminder!
Things have changed indeed. In the Mt. Pinos district there are just two places that are considered high impact areas where an Adventure Pass is required: 1. Along the Mt. Pinos Road including Chula Vista Parking Lot and Peanut Hill, in the winter time only, and 2. Ballinger Canyon (all times of the year). Adventure Passes will continue to be required at named campgrounds only if you stay overnight . Parking along the roadsides that border national forests land will NOT require an Adventure Pass.If in doubt about any situation please call the Chuchupate Ranger Station, 661.245.3731, for more detailed information.
The California/Nevada Conservation Committee will meet Saturday, September 24th and Sunday, September 25th, 2005 at Rancho El Chorro (San Luis Obispo). All Sierra Club members are welcome.
This is a good opportunity to really get acquainted with the California Sierra Club and to make contacts with many like-minded folks. If you are interested in attending, please call Ches at 661.242.0423.

Onhe first New Moon weekend of the month, some local participants in an amateur astronomy internet forum called Cloudy Nights decided to meet each other at the Chula Vista Parking area on the top of Mt. Pinos for a star party (viewing session). The following is an edited and slightly annotated version of the report that was written for the Cloudy Nights forum. Names of the participants have been changed.
Cloudy Nights Attendance:<> Bob, Fred, me, and just about everyone else on earth. Man, was it crowded (more on which subsequently).
Equipment: Bob had his trusty 12.5 inch Dobsonian (a pretty big but not huge reflecting telescope); Fred had his 70mm ETX (a small Meade refracting telescope); I had my 8 inch LX10 (a medium sized Meade Schmidt Cassegrain reflecting telescope) and Oberwerk 100mm. binoculars (a very large and heavy set of astronomy binoculars). Largest scope award for the night went to one of those 28 inch Dobsonians that I thought had been banned in the latest round of strategic arms talks (this thing is about ten feet tall and requires a special trailer to transport). Most expensive scope (according to my guess) was a brand new Takahashi 6 incher on a Takahashi mount and tripod, equipped with naglers, radians, pentaxes, the Crown Jewels, the Hope Diamond . . . (you get my point). (Takahashi is a manufacturer of premium refractors that are well known for their beauty and quality. They are also extremely expensive. The equipment names following refer to very expensive eyepieces. I estimate that the whole setup cost around $15,000, possibly more.)
Skies: after a day of thunderstorms, the skies magically cleared to reveal the typical star spangled skies of the Mt. Pinos region. Bob had his trusty star magnitude gizmo and kept us all updated to the latest measurement, which peaked at Mag 6.7. (This is as almost good as it gets for dark skies viewing.)
Seeing: Excellent. Transparent and quite calm.
Weather: mild, surprisingly dry, no wind, no skeeters to speak of, in short, ideal.
Noise level and general ambience<>: A surprise for me. I've never been to a big star gathering. This was big. Also very noisy. Noise doesn’t affect seeing directly, of course, but it did make it very hard for someone used to silent solo viewing to concentrate. Very distracting. The kids charging about on roller skates and brandishing white light flashlights (when viewing in dark skies, you need to get your eyes adjusted to the dark. Amateur astronmers carry red light flashlights to avoid destroying their night vision. White light flashlights, or car headlights, ruin night vision and are not appreciated), while careening in and out of about a billion dollars worth of telescopes didn’t help concentration much either. I have to admit that all the cigarette smoke was distracting too. And, of course, the cars that kept barreling up with their headlights on were a joy to all.
Sights: Well, I tried to get around to find out what others were seeing and to gaze through their scopes (this is something that star parties are useful for: testing out other people’s equipment), but I can best list what I viewed. Actually, I'll list only some highlights: I began viewing at about 8:30 with Jupiter and kept at it until about 4:00 AM as Orion climbed over the trees.
The Veil (a lovely nebula in Cygnus), both through my LX10 and Bob’s Dob. I was very happy with my LX10 views of both sections, but Bob’s blew my socks off. Wonderful ropelike textures and dark paths through the ribbon-like stretches.
Mars: the highlight of the night for me. I saw the South polar cap very clearly (a first for me) as well as a greenish Meridiani Sinus (a surface feature). Even in a big high quality scope Mars looks very small and it is difficult to make out any detail. What I saw on Mt. Pinos can be attributed to the superb viewing conditions. It helped that I knew what I was looking for. The polar cap is a tiny bright spot that one would miss if one didn’t know what it is. Any surface feature is a blur.
Barnard 86 (a dark nebula, which means that you look for something that doesn’t reflect light and is literally a black patch in the sky). Thanks to Bob’s instruction I had excellent views of this superb dark nebula, both through his Dob and my SCT.
The Coat Hanger (an open cluster of stars. Star clusters are groups of stars that are bound together by gravitation.). Listed because this was the first time I’ve knowingly viewed this famous open star cluster (I’ve seen it before but didn’t know what it was). Bob guided me to this one too.
The Double Cluster (two dazzling open clusters right next to each other in the constellation Perseus). I’ve seen this many times before, but this was a first for me through my LX 10. Best view was through the Celestron 14, and also a home-built 150mm. binocular telescope (a really huge binocular). You can imagine what this wonderful sight looked like in the skies we had.
Galaxies: The owner of both the Celestron 14 and the 150mm binos was very generously providing tours of the sky and taking requests. I particularly wanted to see galaxies through a 14 inch instrument, and he obliged with a bunch of NGCxxx’s (NGCxxx and Mxxx are ways of identifying the thousands of identified sights in the night sky. They are tricky to remember and I prefer the nonnumerical names) whose numbers I will never remember. I’m a literature and language scholar: I need names, not numbers.
Every galaxy is exciting to see simply due to the knowledge of what one is looking at. A galaxy is a large gravitationally bound system of stars, interstellar gas and dust, dark matter and possibly dark energy. We as part of our solar system are located in one of the billions of galaxies known in the cosmos. The outlines of our galaxy can easily be seen in the night sky with the naked eye. It is commonly described as the Milky Way,
I can’t say that this was a great night for structure, No "Hubble"-like views, or anything like that. Basically, faint fuzzies all with a glimpse of structure in the end-on galaxies. Andromeda (a gigantic galaxy) was bright and huge in all scopes (the Celestron 14, the LX10, and my 100mm binos), but while the bright core was very clearly distinguished from the endless extent of the galaxy, I didn't see spiral structure as such (which I sort of expected in the Celestron).
Biggest surprise of the night<>: Well, as we all know, the best way to learn what a given instrument can reveal is to go to a star party and look through whatever you can. I did my best to do this. Amateur astronomers constantly discuss equipment and long for something better and more expensive. I’ve begun relatively modestly and find myself glad to have done so. In short, once again (this has happened before), I have found that more expensive equipment does provide a better view than my stuff does, but not so much better as to make me want to spend that much more money to get something that is much harder to transport, set up, and break down. I suppose it would be cool to have some of that expensive stuff so others would crowd around to view through it, but I'm beginning to think rather seriously that to really get to the next level I'd need to go to over 20 inches of Dob, and that’s just too big and cumbersome for me to handle. So I'm content, which is a nice feeling.
I’m also pleased that I was able to stay up until the dawn began to creep up. I’ve never pulled an all-nighter viewing. It was funny listening to people snore. It was impressive to watch the winter constellations make their appearance.
It was great to get a sky tour from Bob. A star party is a great way to learn the sky if someone wants to guide you, and Bob did just that.
Viewing Mars There is a lot of nonsense going around about Mars this summer. It indeed will come close to the earth–closest approach on the night of October 29—30–but it will not at any time be anywhere near as large as the moon. But, Mars will rise much higher into USA skies than usual.and will rise near sunset and soar high into the southern sky near midnight in the month of November. Consequently, this higher elevation will give star watchers probably the best view of this century.
Help keep the skies dark. One of the reasons Mt. Pinos is such a superb place for star-gazing is the fact that the surrounding skies have been relatively dark. Please do your part to keep it that way by not letting your outdoor lights burn all night.
A member of the Condor Group, Dave Koskenmaki is hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. Once more we are joining him by reading excerpts from his trail diary. It is hoped they will give you a flavor, a taste of what challenges and situations occur as Dave travels further north. At the start of the journey Dave stated that he hoped to end the journey in Canada in late September. At this writing Dave reports from Bend Pass, at which point he has walked 1974 miles. The Pacific Crest Trail ends at the Washington/Canadian border with a listed length of 2655 miles.
Excerpts from the first days of Dave's hike are in the Condor Flyer, June to August, on the Kern Kaweah web site. The following excerpts come from May until the last days of August. You can follow his journey to completion at traveljourney.com.
Last evening another couple of hikers, Bionic Dave and Strawberry, arrived bringing the total in the Lopez guesthouse to 8 hikers–not much floor space for sleeping. I found the TV to be a bit distracting so I decided to sleep out on the deck. I brought most of my gear outside with me and left it for about 5 minutes while I finished doing a few things inside. When I got back three raccoons were busy trying to get stuff out of my food pack. It's a kevlar Ursack–supposed to be bear proof–but I hadn’t closed it tightly. They had several envelopes of hot chocolate mix.
You may think raccoons are cute, soft, cuddly little animals–well, let me tell you, they’re not. These were big, mean, alley-cat type raccoons that stood their ground and hissed at me. Using my trekking poles as weapons I was able to reclaim my food bag. However, later that night they came back looking for their food bag. I woke up to the pitter-patter of paws on the deck and could see a raccoon sitting, silhouetted against the sky, on the railing above me. I grabbed a trekking pole and was able to jab it, causing a lot of hissing and commotion and noise as it fell to the ground. After that they kept their distance and I was able to sleep fairly well.
...We are camping in a nice spot close to a creek that flows out of Mosquito Lake. The edges of the creek have California pitcher plants, apparently fairly rare. Since there are also cow pies everywhere we are treating our water. We are in the Trinity Alps Wilderness Area and it puzzles me why cattle are allowed to graze here. The ironic thing is that as hikers we are urged to practice "no trace" camping, setting out tents well away from streams and lakes, burying our wastes, not camping on grass or plants, etc. In the meantime, cows can go anywhere, pooping and trampling wherever they go, and ranging all the way up to 7,000 feet in pristine meadows.
...The hike this morning was fairly hard with lots of uphill. But I enjoyed the smells–some exquisite but unidentified flower aromas, the minty smell of pennyroyal, and the spicy smell of sage. I could also hear some hermit thrushes and olive-sided flycatchers.
...This afternoon we came into patches of wild strawberries. Since I have my sense of smell/taste back at least temporarily, these little berries were a real pleasure. We also found bunches of ripe thimbleberries. I ate a lot of them, thinking of the beneficial vitamin C and flavinoids
...When we got to Grider Creek we jumped into a deep pool below the first bridge. Streams have been much colder than the lakes and Grider Creek was no exception.
...When we arrived at Kangaroo Meadows to camp yesterday evening a little yearling deer started hanging around us. We thought how sweet. Well this cute little deer turned out to be a creature from hell. Deer crave salt that they can get by licking the ground where hikers pee. This particular deer has somehow also learned that it could get salt by licking hikers’ clothes. It pestered us and kept us up all night. Dave (there are two Daves in this group) got up in the night numerous times to throw sticks at it but it wouldn’t leave us alone. Kelly and Dave finally put up their tent to provide themselves with a deer barrier. When it wasn’t bothering Kelly and Dave it was bothering me, poking at my cook pot, sniffing around, and walking around and nearly on top of me. Once I heard it in the Manzanita bushes chewing on something and I assumed it was eating manzanita leaves. Wrong! It was chewing on my hat that I had left on the corner of my ground cloth. I didn’t realize that it had my hat until the morning when were about to leave. Even in the morning as we were packing it managed to grab one of Dave’s shirts and started chewing. It also mangled Kelly’s homemade visor. I never did find my hat.
...In Ashland our first stop was the library where I researched intestinal disorders. It became very obvious that I have all the classic symptoms of giardiasis...Giardia is the number one infectious parasite in the United States and the risk shouldn’t be treated lightly. (Ed. note: Dave had more than considerable difficulty with health problems, but he never gave up, a real tribute to his determination to fufill his dream of walking the Pacific Crest Trail.)
...We met an interesting trio on the trail today: Sandy Lee who thru-hiked the PCT twice in the early 90’s, her llama, a sheepdog, and two friends, one of whom was 81. She was dressed completely in red and singing at the top of her lungs coming down the trail. The llama had a bell that tinkled as it walked. We heard them a long time before we saw them.
...The trail today was easy but not very scenic. The volcanic soil in the trail is very fine and when one walks on it a cloud of dust flies up. We had to stay at least 50 meters apart to keep from breathing each other’s dust. Dust continually coats our shoes, socks, pants, feet, and lower legs. This section has to be the dustiest that we’ve experienced. All the seasonal creeks are dried up, the flowers are all gone, and most of the birds have stopped singing. For the most part the forest has been a monoculture of small to medium lodgepole pines.
...I dislike dry camping because I can’t wash the trail dust off my legs. It sticks like glue and can’t be wiped or scraped off. But I keep one pair of clean socks and a pair of tights for sleeping in so I don't get my sleeping bag dirty.
...The water level of Diamond View Lake where we are camped is way down so that to get water from it we have to walk through a 20-foot-wide moat of mud that surrounds the lake...(More about) water: much to the amusement of Dave and Kelly, (I had to take a swim). Apparently I looked like a dog or something. The bottom was muddy and I spent more time crawling along the bottom on my hands and knees than actually swimming.
...We then walked roughly 2 miles to the ski resort lodge at Williamette Pass. Kelly and Dave, being purists, followed the official PCT most of the way. I opted to follow an easier paved road, without all the ups and downs and dust. As a bonus, the side of the road was full of huckleberry bushes. The huckleberries were the best so far–two kinds, a deep blue that looked a lot like blueberries, and a purple kind, a bit sweeter. I ate at least a cup worth. I also found some bushes thick with ripe black raspberries. I could have filled my pot in five minutes but contented myself with a few handfuls.
...We walked 4 miles to Charlton Lake in the pleasant coolness of the morning where we were able to filter some water. Some kind car campers there asked us if we’d like some blueberry pancakes. One thing thru hikers never do is refuse food. So we spent an enjoyable hour visiting, eating pancakes, and lounging in their canvas chairs.
...When we finally stop walking at the end of a day, usually after 7 PM, there isn't much daylight left to set up camp, cook, eat, and clean up. I do these journal entries at night by headlamp when I’m tired, awkwardly using my thumbs to write using the Pocketmail miniature keyboard–obviously not real conducive to good writing.
FROM THE CHAIR–
The topic for today is "activism." Our Condor Group is in the thick of an impressive number of projects. They mostly involve reacting to proposed development activities for which the range of our responsibilities are pretty well defined under California law, most notably the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1972. We think of these as part of our "reactive" responsibilities.
We also engage in "proactive" initiatives, those whose merits alone dictate our involvement; these are the choices we make. All of this is the stuff of our Conservation Committee, which meets on a needs basis, and is hosted by our committee chair, Mary Ann Lockhart. Of course, all of this activity is subsequently reviewed by our Executive Committee before proceeding.
As a reminder, all of these meetings are open to our membership. For those of you who have the time and the interest, this is the stuff of activism.
Happy Trails, Ches
(Call Ches, 661.242.0432 and/or Mary Ann 661.2442.0432 for latest information as to meetings, etc.)
