I was interested because you had corresponded with Francis Lange, the landscape architect (40).
I think he was the guy that made the sign at Vidae Falls.
I met him.
So did. I suspect it was probably a service wide move to try to reduce maintenance of park roads. I remember now we were directed to look at the feasibility of closing the road from Cleetwood Cove to Sun Notch.
Kerr Notch or Sun Notch.
It concerned that whole east side, as I vaguely recall. If we did that, it would be reasonable to convert the Grayback Road into a two way route.
So it still would provide access to Pinnacles and Lost Creek?
Yes, and an optional loop, if you will. Fortunately we never had to go that way. That’s the last segment where you have to do snow removal. They felt we could reduce our budget quite a bit if we didn’t have to maintain it .
Did you meet Mr. Lange as a result of that CCC reunion (41)?
I made an extra effort to find any CCC alumni. This is just coming back to me now, I believe he was living some place in California.
Yes, Vacaville.
That is it. I don’t believe he came up for that event. I tried to generate a good bit of publicity and I was hopeful that we would get more people to turn out. I remember that he came up and he told me about the sign that we still have at Vidae Falls. He is the only one that I recall of the CCC alumni.
