Bench Lake Ranger Station End of Season Report 2010 Christopher J Miles Sierra Crest – Bench Lake Ranger Station End of Season Report 2010 Christopher J Miles This was my second season as a backcountry ranger and it was a great pleasure to have spent it once again at the Bench Lake Ranger Station on the Sierra Crest. I stayed healthy, explored new territory, rehabbed many campsites and fire rings, discovered archeological sites and generally had a great time. I completed projects in the area, met a lot of nice people, gave out all kinds of information and assisted with med-evacs. I arrived June 20th at the station after hiking in over Taboos Pass. From the top of the pass to the Ranger Station there was 100% snow cover and it was a long afternoon spent getting there. My season was June 20th- September 21st, 2010.

Unlike last year these were scattered throughout the patrol area. I placed a Rehabilitation Site sign at the small lake south of the station (Lake Spam) and had only one party at the beginning of the season camp there. Everyone moved without incident after I talked with them about their choice of campsites. I recommended one citation for abandoned property and one written warning for an illegal campfire near Marion Lake. SAR There were two SARs’ in my area this year. The first occurred in July on Split Mountain. The individual was located on the east side of the crest by INYO Search and Rescue. The second SAR occurred in the Muro Blanco during Labor Day Weekend. The individual walked into the South Fork Trail Crew camp on the second day of the search. Medical There were three med-evacs from the Bench Area this year. I also arranged one stock evacuation for an individual this year. In addition I assisted 115 with a med-evac from the Rae Lakes area. 7/10/2010 Ankle injury Palisade Lakes 8/12/2010 Abdominal Bench Ranger Station 8/16/2010 Wrist Fracture ¾ miles N of SF Xing 8/28/2010 AMS/HAPE Arrowhead Lake 9/3/2010 Exhaustion/stock evac Bench Ranger Station There were two minor medical incidents this year at the Bench station. One was a laceration to the thumb and the other was an ankle injury. Both of these were Treat and Release and self-evacuations. I also gave out an Ace bandage. There were no fatalities in the Bench Area this year. Weather The weather this year was great. It started out cold and damp with early season thunderstorms and low temps. There was a touch of snow during the first week that I was out at the station. It warmed up a bit but temperatures were a bit cooler than last year. I think this had to do with the lingering snow. The middle of July saw lots of thunderstorm activity with lots of lightening and a few days of rain. There were many lightning strikes in the area. It even tried to snow here at the station. While this did not amount to much, there was white on some of the higher ridges in the area. The beginning of August again saw lower than normal temperatures with nighttime temps going down into the lower 30’s and the daytime temps in the mid 60’s and a couple days where temps were in the 50’s. The last week of August was very cold with nighttime temperatures down in the 20’s and daytime highs in the 30’s and 40’s. Again it tried to snow around the 30th with minimal success. The week after Labor Day weekend again was very cold with temperatures down into the 20’s. It also tried to snow again during this period. Snow level was forecasted to be around 9000 feet. I ended up with a slight dusting of snow around the station on the 9th of September. Fires The Sheep Fire in Cedar Grove lasted through the middle of July and well into September. The first two weeks of August saw a lot of smoke in the area during the late afternoon and evening. During the first week of September the fire reached 3,000 acres and the afternoons here at Bench became very smoky. Smoke from the Sheep fire continued to impact the Bench area until the end of my season. The last report I had heard was that the fire went to over 7,000 acres and the smoky afternoons continued to hamper the view until I left the station on the 21st of September. Unlike last year we did not receive fire updates during the season. I had many visitors ask about the smoke and was unable to give them much information beyond the fact that there was a fire in Cedar Grove. It would have been a great help in answering questions if there were regular fire updates for this particular fire. Use Patterns Generally in the Bench area, 90% of the people I contacted were walking the PCT or the JMT. Of the other 10%, most folks were either coming in over Taboos Pass or doing various loops out of Cedar Grove, Bishop Pass or Kearsarge Pass. Taboos Pass saw increased use due, in part, to other Trail Head quotas being filled forcing visitors to use the pass as a last resort. Lakes Basin saw significant increase in use this year. I saw many visitors returning from there or going to the area throughout the season. Dumb-bell Lakes and Amphitheater Lake also saw increased use this year with parties using various routes such as Amphitheater Pass, Frozen Lake Pass, Cartridge Pass and Dumb-bell Lakes Pass. I am thinking that Ropers High Route must have been published again somewhere as I talked to a lot of visitors during the course of the season going that way. I talked to a number of parties during September that were using the Lakes Basin area even that late in the season. Early season, June 17th- July 20th, is the time for PCT hikers heading north to Canada. This year the traffic was late and spread out as the snow conditions were challenging well into July. I even saw a few PCT folks on the trail in Mid-August and even September who had gotten turned around by the snow earlier in the season. Mather Pass seemed to give folks the most difficulty. The snow lingered on the North side into the end of July and the South side can often be steep and hard when there is snow on it. I saw two Boy Scout troops this year. One group was in the area towards the end of July and camped at Lake Marjorie where they climbed Mt. Pinchot. The other group camped at Bench Lake near the trail and close to the lake. After a short conversation with the later group they moved their camp to a more appropriate campsite. The later group continued their trip over Pinchot Pass and exited Kearsarge Pass. Kings Canyon Trail Crew arrived in the area during the first week of August and had a camp on the South Fork of the Kings River. They did maintenance in the area and their efforts were concentrated on the JMT north of the South Fork Crossing and on Mather Pass. They also did a bit of work on the Taboos Pass trail while in the area. They kept five head of stock in the area throughout the season and pushed them down the Muro Blanco to graze so as not to impact commercial grazing in the area. This year I also had two ACE (American Conservation Experience) crews in the area. They arrived shortly after the Kings Trail Crew and were camped on the old Taboos Pass trail near their work site. They were putting plugs of grass into the old trail that passes through the meadow. Their work looks great and will go a long way to helping restore the natural state of the Taboos meadows. They also assisted in doing a short trail reroute of the new Taboos Pass trail near the Bench Ranger station. They hoped to complete the project by the end of the season. As of the 21st of September the reroute looked great. I saw a few guided groups this year. Two trips came through with Southern Yosemite Mountain Guides and one trip came through with Sierra Mountain Guides. Both Southern Yosemite Mountain Guides trips were stock supported. The second SYMG group had to cut their trip short due to the fact that their stock had gotten through a fence in the LeConte area and was unable to be located for a few days. Stock use Stock use in the area seemed to increase this year with Rock Creek Pack Station being the heaviest user. They had four trips with an average of fourteen head per trip. All of these trips were full service and the packers did a great job of cleaning up their camps and scattering manure. They also did one spot trip into the Upper Basin area during the first week of September with five head. Sequoia Kings Pack Outfit also had one spot trip into the area during the second week of September. Rainbow Pack Station had two trips into the area and also did a good job of cleaning up their camps.

    EXPERIENCES OF A PACKER IN WASHINGTON TERRITORY MINING CAMPS DURING THE SIXTIES (Concluded from Vol. XIX., page 293). Well, that morning when Patterson reached the barber shop he found Pinkham in the barber shop getting shaved; Patterson just walked over to the barber chair, drew out a big dragoon six shooter and placing it against Pinkhams ear shot him through the head. After he was shot Pinkham jumped up and ran to the front door, and fell there dead. I was right there at the time and saw him lying there in a pool of blood. Patterson "gave himself up," and his crowd being in control of things he was later acquitted by a packed or intimidated jury. Patterson was a bad man, he had killed a sea captain in Portland, and murdered a number of men in "self defense." When a bad man wanted to commit murder with impunity he picked a quarrel with his vic­ tim and killed "in self defense." In going from Walla Walla to the Kootenay mining district we traveled over the Mullan Road to the crossing of the Touchet River, the site of the present town of Prescott; thence to the Snake River, which we crossed sometimes at Silcott's or Lyons Ferry and sometimes at Texas Ferry. We struck the Mullan Road again at Rock Creek and followed it to the crossing of the Spokane River, or Herrin's Bridge, as the place was then called. This bridge was located near the Idaho line, about a half mile above the place where Col.
