  • Don Porter Oral History Transcript
    PORTER, Don FS 1953? - 1978 01-19-05 03__Corrected 2 U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region Five History Project Interview with: Don Porter Interviewed by: Gerald Gause Location: Dana Point, California Date: January 19, 2005 Transcribed by: Christine Sinnott; February 2005 Corrected by: Linda Nunes WRITTEN INSERT: I was born and raised in Southern California in the Glendale-La Canada area. La Canada is in the foothills and on the edge of the Angeles National Forest, and between Pasadena and Glendale. In my youth with friends and Boy Scouts [I] camped and hiked over many trails. Went fishing for many, many years in the Inyo National Forest in the Eastern High Sierra. The local mountains and the High Sierra were my early education to the Forest Service and its National Forests. DON PORTER: I graduated from Glendale High School in 1944 and attended Glendale College and then attended the University of Montana Forestry School in 1946 and 1947. In 1942, I was fifteen years of age and worked in a fishing resort that my father and I used to go to up at Bishop Creek on the Inyo National Forest. Kind of got my introduction to resource and so forth at that time. In 1943, the next year, I’m sixteen years old and started my career – not my career but my summer career – with the Forest Service on the Eldorado National Forest on the blister rust control (BRC) program during the summer. We were all teenaged high school students and spent our summers digging up Gooseberry bushes.

No part of this publication may be reproduced, transmitted, transcribed, stored in a retrieval system, or translated into any language or computer language, in any form or by any means, without prior written permission from Christopher Earls Brennen. ISBN-0-9667409-1-2 Preface In this collection of stories, I have recorded some of my adventures on the mountains of the world. I make no pretense to being anything other than an average hiker for, as the first stories tell, I came to enjoy the mountains quite late in life. But, like thousands before me, I was drawn increasingly toward the wilderness, partly because of the physical challenge at a time when all I had left was a native courage (some might say foolhardiness), and partly because of a desire to find the limits of my own frailty. As these stories tell, I think I found several such limits; there are some I am proud of and some I am not. Of course, there was also the grandeur and magnificence of the mountains. There is nothing quite to compare with the feeling that envelopes you when, after toiling for many hours looking at rock and dirt a few feet away, the world suddenly opens up and one can see for hundreds of miles in all directions. If I were a religious man, I would feel spirits in the wind, the waterfalls, the trees and the rock. Many of these adventures would not have been possible without the mar- velous companionship that I enjoyed along the way.

We'll move at a slow pace each day; however, each peak will require a strenuous effort, and although the routes will be restricted to Class 2 scrambling, comfort on steep and loose, rocky and thorny cross-country terrain is required. Saturday morning we'll get an early start and head into the "Nopah Range" Wilderness Area located along the eastern range bordering Chicago Valley; first we'll warm up by trudging across a broad alluvial fan, then we'll make our way up through a sometimes tight and rocky canyon before getting up onto a steep and loose, rocky and thorny ridgeline that will bring us up onto the narrow and rocky summit ridge, which we'll ascend to the summit of Pahrump Point. After thoroughly enjoying the reportedly exquisite views up there, we'll return the way we came in for a day's total of 8 RT mi with 3,400' gain. We'll make camp where we're parked and will celebrate the weekend under a nearly full moon sky with a traditional DPS Potluck Happy Hour.

  • Angeles National Forest Campgrounds
    Most campgrounds on the Angeles National Forest are first come, first served. However, some are managed by concessionaires who do take reservations. The National Forest Adventure Pass or Interagency passes are not required if you visit a fee campground and remain in that area; they are required if you leave that campground and recreate elsewhere on the forest. Campfire permits are not required at campgrounds where you have paid a fee, but trail camps and dispersed camping do require a current California Campfire Permit for your portable stove use. Each campsite is for a maximum of 8 people; there may be an extra charge for additional vehicles. Fire Restrictions are subject to change during the year, contact our General Forest Information line at (626) 5745200 or access www.fs.fed.us/r5/angeles for the latest updates. You may camp 14 days at any one site on the district or for up to 30 days in the forest. Special Notes: Contact the local Forest Service District Office for current updates on the campground you wish to visit. Also, fees are subject to change. Please call your district office or access www.recreation.gov to confirm current pricing. Please help protect the forest by checking with your local Forest Service Office for current Fire Restrictions. Stream and lake water on the forest is not recommended for drinking. However, if you find it necessary, boil all stream or lake water for at least five minutes. Portable filtration units (0.2 microns) may be used. Always bring your own drinking water, even to the campgrounds that state they provide piped water.

  • Williamson Rock/ Pacific Crest NaOnal Scenic Trail Project Dra Environmental Impact Statement
    United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service Williamson Rock/ Pacific Crest Naonal Scenic Trail Project Dra Environmental Impact Statement July 2018 With Technical Assistance by: Williamson Rock/Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail Project SUMMARY Summary S.1 Background Williamson Rock is a well-known recreation area in the Angeles National Forest (ANF), used predominately for rock climbing. It has been utilized by climbers since the 1960’s and is regarded as one of the unique rock climbing resources in southern California, due to its mild summer temperatures and close proximity to urban centers. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail (PCT) traverses the project area, paralleling and periodically crossing Little Rock Creek and its tributaries for approximately 2 miles. In September 2005, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) proposed the designation of approximately 8,283 acres of streams and riparian areas as critical habitat for the mountain yellow-legged frog (Rana muscosa) (MYLF), 615 acres of which were in Little Rock Creek and surrounded areas of Williamson Rock. The designation triggered a one-year Forest Service closure of the Williamson Rock area that began on December 29, 2005 and has been renewed each year either by Forest Order or court injunction. Since issuing the initial closure, the ANF has also continually received many comments from the public requesting the re-opening of the Williamson Rock area for recreational use. S.2 Purpose and Need The purpose and need for this project is to provide managed recreational activities at Williamson Rock and allow access to the PCT, while protecting the federally listed MYLF and other unique resources.
