Oddly the ANF page still has the Adv Pass not accepted info. Shrugs.

Inspiration point (Blue Ridge) parking
Forgive me if search has failed me. Has anyone been here since they started charging for parking? Can you park for free on the other (Blue Ridge Rd) side?

Re: Bobcat Fire: closure info, what's open
I think the fire followed by the rain is the main story. The Sturtevant camp page has some info if you go backwards in time.

Yes, it is! As it happens, I biked to the station at Keller Peak last weekend and saw the new sticker for the first time. You can see the URL here.

The science stuff is my job ?
Fun fact: the station at Mt. Gleason relays data from the sites at Mt. Waterman and Chilao out to civilization via a station near Encino.

Now accepting applications for a concession special use permit
Anyone have an interpretation what are the implications for the future of day use parking at Vincent Gap, Inspiration Point, Grassy Hollow, Jackson Lake, and a couple others?

Re: A bit of the aftermath
Thanks for the recon. It is a relief to see the spring (and the rest). I do believe I recall the scorching on that tree, so I think it's old.
I wonder what the tape on Islip is for? Impromptu helispot?

Re: Chantry Flat area, trail work, 10/15
Thank you for posting. During the fire, I was haunted by the mental image of the Spruce Grove sign (and everything else) on fire. I'll be interested to know which cabins were unfortunately lost. And what happened on the other side of the Zion loop. I looked for the beginning of the Burma road a few ...

I was at Little Jimmy last week and had the good fortune to be snacking at the spring when this little guy came to bathe in the pool. He did a couple wash cycles, splooshing around in the water and then retreating to a tree to flap dry. ?

Re: Lost & Found
Might have dropped a key ring with 2 small keys (like for a bike lock) near Grassy Hollow, either parked on the road across from the entrance, at the first picnic table after the gate, or somewhere between, 11 July 2020.

Re: History question: Neil Armstrong's cabin in the SGs
Awesome! Every once in a while, a colleague gets transferred to Palmdale and has to decide where to live. I always tell them Neil Armstrong figured that out decades ago. (I'd pop for indoor plumbing myself though).

Re: History question: Neil Armstrong's cabin in the SGs
No, I never uncovered anything more specific than Juniper Hills. The google trail did have some interesting reading though. Apparently his wife taught practically every kid in Juniper Hills how to swim. Someone had a scan of his completion certificate signed by her.
