Description:

For some days in a lookout, life is placid. That is not today. For starters, Sherri has been not feeling well, so I am going to be up in the tower for three days. The other item is that Mom fell yesterday and Steven is tending to her. So I will be interested in seeing what happens there.

I woke up early, around 0540, and cannot get back to sleep. So I tie up some loose ends-I have not been here for awhile and need to take care of bills and stuff. I get out a bit early and readying myself for my 90 minute drive up and is off around 0710. The drive up 180 is peaceful and I turn onto the road up to Delilah, another 45 minutes of mostly dirt road, which should be also uneventful.

The operative words are “should be.” There is a layer of smoke right around 6800-7000’, either from the Lions Point fire or more probably the Ferguson fire. When I drive in, I glance around to see if there is any smokes I should be concerned about. Looked over at McKenzie Ridge-nothing; Park Ridge-nothing; Rodgers Ridge-nothing; Patterson Bluffs-smoke. SMOKE! and a large three columns of smoke.

My "Smoke" at Black Rock

The smoke is above Patterson Bluffs towards the east and I realize that is right around BlackRock. I try to call Sierra dispatch and my old phone-the current phone is broken-has Sierra’s old number. So I drive for a little ways and reach Buck Rock by phone. They have just arrived and have not looked around yet. So I continue on driving to the tower. As I climb the tower I still see the smoke. So when I get into the cab, I phoned Sierra if they have heard anything in the area. No. So I will radio out a report when I have more information.

I got the azimuth and put my binoculars on the smoke to get a better idea of the location and found the layer of smoke and found Black Rock. But where is the smoke? I see the three pieces of granite making up Black Rock but not the three columns of smoke. Wait a minute! When did that smoke turn into granite? Ohhhhh! I hate being so wrong and embarrassed the first thing in the morning. I called back Sierra dispatch and confessed my sin. Then called Buck Rock to inform them they do not need to look any more there either.

And now to start my regular day.

I take the weather status and go in-service with both Sierra (SNF) and Porterville (PV)-Sequoia National Forest at 0930. Then do a scan and get my paperwork together. The weather is pretty clear, except for the smoke mentioned before, which is cutting down visibility. Not much activity on my part. After the 1000 weather and staffing report, I do some more scans. Also I start arranging for my three day stay. Kathy calls me around 1030 to check to see how I am doing. I explain the situation with Sherri and my mother. Also the fiasco this morning. She is highly sympathetic. She says that any lookout who has been around for awhile reports a false smoke-so welcome to the club. Both Kathy and Wendy understand we are volunteers and will make mistakes. The important part is to be able to recovery quickly from them. At 1100, is the normal SNF lookout check-in, which I do.

Around 1130 clouds are starting to surround me to the north all the way to the southeast. Some mighty big ones at that. They will not reach Delilah today but if this keeps up, I may see some action by Tuesday.

Clouds starting to surround Delilah

Sometimes on the radio, you hear some strange chatter. You only wished that you had recorded it. Around 1245 I hear from SNF that there is a request for a tranquilizer. Why and what for is not said. I am wondering if I heard this right as I do not think I have heard this before. Then a few minutes later there is chatter coming from the Ferguson fire, which only started a few days ago-I have switched off of the normal SNF command channel to channel 2. Still occasionally something pops up about that fire. This time, there is an estimate about when a drone is coming in-about two and half hours. First time to hear that also. I really need to get my ears checked, followed by my head.

Now the days gets more personal. My son had called earlier that my mother was having troubles getting out of bed. After discussing the situation, he called the Kaiser advice nurse and now they are sending my mother to the emergency room. I will need to understand what this means and if I need to change my plans for the next several days.

Cloud from Ferguson Fire

In the meantime, I am up here at Delilah and now looking around for signs of smoke which there is none. But there are are clouds. Looking towards the northwest, there is one solitary monster cloud rising up. I wonder where that cloud is and after plotting it out, I realize that is above the Ferguson Fire, 60 miles away. If that cloud is that far away and that large, it has to be of monstrous size. I talk with Fence Meadow Lookout and he concurs that is from the fire. After about an hour the cloud disappears.

The rest of the afternoon got spent on the phone. Some with my brother, some with the ER doctor and some with Kathy about status of the lookout. Through all of this, I try to keep an eye for smokes, but I can only say that I am not as alert as I should be. I suspect that a smoke would have to be right in my face before I would notice it. Not because of despondency of what is happening, but trying to make good decisions about what to do with my mother.

During all of this, Delilah Doe appears below me, along with her fawns. Something peaceful looking at them and seeing them gently walking across the trail into the trees.

As the time approached 1700, I decide that Kathy needs to see who can work Monday and Tuesday. I will go back to Fresno tonight to see if I need to go to the Bay Area. If I am available and no one has stepped up, I will come back to Delilah and work it.

At 1800, I go out of service and then lug my stuff down. We usually clean up before we leave, such as mop the floor and stuff. But today, it is more just do the more basic stuff-turn off equipment, put away stuff and get my stuff out of there. Then it is off I go to Fresno.

On my way out, as I come up onto the Davis Road/Delilah Road junction, I see something laying across the road. I am coming up on this something at about 10-15mph, wondering what is it? Then when I am right on top of it, I realize it is a snake! Did I kill it? What kind of snake is it? I curl back around expecting to see tire tracks across its body. But what do I see? It curled up, looking around saying what just happened and why is it coming back again? I take a few pictures and then leave it along. After looking at a nature book, I think it was a gopher snake, not a rattler like I first thought.

I make it home by 2000, tired, but wondering what tomorrow brings. Sherri fixes me something to eat, and I make some calls. My mother seems to be OK now and will be transferred to ICU. So I best go on over to the Bay Area tomorrow. Time to get packed.

Type: Lookout

Description:

I woke up a bit later this morning, but the sun was still behind the mountains, showing light through the filter of dust and smoke in the air. Not much of either, but the light was growing with power. The first thing I look for is the truck we were concerned with last night. It has moved a bit. Now, partially hidden behind some bushes and small trees, but still there. Then I read an e-mail saying that the road is open and the truck has a right to be there. So far there is no sign of life in that direction.

But in our direction, we start getting ready for the new day. Judy will be coming up around 1000. The three of us will refresh ourselves on being a lookout. Sort of a strange thing. Sherri and I have already been in the lookout for three days and Judy was up here last week. And now we are getting refreshed. But there is something which makes sense. The three of us are familiar with the basics-use of the radio, taking the status of the weather, understanding the landmarks around us and the like. But if you are not training with someone else, you can gain bad habits or start into patterns which are not conducive to the effective running of the lookout. Also each person has their strengths and it gives each of us a chance to learn from each other. So it is good to refresh from someone other than Sherri and myself.

Anyway, we have our oatmeal breakfast and tidy up the lookout cabin. Then take the status of the weather and go into service with both Porterville and SNF. Our scans do not show anything abnormal. Even the Anchor Fire from yesterday is not rising up smoke.

About 1015 we see Judy drive up and shortly afterwards she ascends into the tower. We fill her in on what we have seen and heard during the past two days. See the previous two blog entries(June 26, 2018 and June 27, 2018) for a summary of those days.

With three of us in the tower, one can scan and listen while the other two refresh. The first item which we look at is radio. We go over setting up scanning and priority along with the more theoretical of what the groups of channels do. Judy probably has a better idea on how to talk on the radio than either Sherri or I.

After lunch, we then get on to what Sherri and Judy want to work on: map reading. So we spot a points and try to find them on the map. We look at where the Davis fire happened and work through how we got the location and access points for it, along with a practice call in. Then I continue to pick a few points and they find it on the map. Then Sherri plays “Stump the Chump” and has me walk through how I found the point.

Mystery Truck

Someplace in all of this, our mystery truck disappears. Whether it continued on towards White Deer Saddle or left via our Delilah Road, we do not know.

Buck Rock calls us on R5 Project to ask, can we see smoke from Academy and Highway 180? No. CalFire is responding to a fire there and she was wondering. There is a level of haze which obscures the area. Then the fire must have sent up a little more smoke and there it is.

Judy gives us the biggest challenge of the day. She has a spot over where the RoughFire started three years ago. On the map, the terrain looks pretty straight forward. But visually, there is a lot of features which do not look like they are how they are on the map. To me the key thing was to find Garlic Meadow towards the top of the ridge, close to Spanish Mountain. If you follow the various ridgelines down, you can find all three of them Garlic Spur, Rough Spur and Deer Ridge. But instead of appearing to go down the bigger ridge, Garlic Spur looks like it goes diagonal. This is more of an optical illusion, a confusing illusion. We all spent time following these features, getting confused and then sorting things out. Interesting exercise. Probably our best thought here is to pray that no other fire starts in that area when we are on duty. By the way, to give you an idea of the difficulty of pegging where the fire started. It was originally on Garlic Spur. But then it was decided that the fire was on the Rough Spur-hence the Rough Fire. But eventually it was on Deer Ridge where the fire started (36.874°N 118.905°W)

Around 1700 we start cleaning up. As the sun comes in through the northwest window, I see how bad my window washing of yesterday has been. Oh well. Sherri and I have already taken down much of our stuff. But there is still a couple of bags to be sent down with the pulley system. Which generates an oops from me. Why you might ask? Glad you did, I did not notice that not all of the rope had been pulled up, so there was about 30’ of rope where the pulley could fall. I did not notice that until after the pulley left my hand and was dropping with increasing speed on its descent to the ground. I held on tight and was able to stop the pulley. The cooler bag handle held, but our prize Hilo Hattie bag handle did not. Fortunately, most of the stuff in that bag was light and did not make much of an impact when it hit the ground.

We did the normal closing up the lookout and went out of service a couple of minutes before 1800. We said our goodbyes to Judy and went down. Dinner was at Bear Mountain Pizza then back to Fresno. But while we were eating, I read a text from my brother who is taking care of my mother. He is running a fever. I know what I am doing for the next couple of days-on the Mountain View in the morning. Better get packed once I get home.

Type: Lookout

Description:

The sun started showing a bit of light on the farthest mountains well before I opened my eyes. By 0550, my eyes could not restrain from looking to see what the sun was going to show me today. What I saw was the air was clearing and the day promised to be pretty good, After Sherri gets up, I fix our morning breakfast-oatmeal. Then it is time to tidy up and before you know it, it is time to start our lookout duties.

Before we go inservice, we take the weather readings-visibility is a lot better than yesterday. Then at 0930 we go into service with Porterville. We also radio SNF between a couple of fires (Homestead and Cone) that we are inservice and I think I hear a response. Now we go along our normal day. Such as our 1000 weather and staffing from Porterville. And the 1100 check in with SNF. But wait, they do Buck Rock and other lookouts, but not Delilah. Why? After consulting with Buck Rock, Sherri radio’s in that we are inservice and SNF responds. All is well, at least we think.

During down times, when we are not scanning, we practice our sightings, particularly around Bald Mountain in Fresno County, which is 250⁰ 50’ from us. So we spend a lot of time examining how the sight of Bald Mtn compares to what the topo map shows. Then it is off to looking at other points in the opposite direction. We do some periodic scans while looking at points northeast of us.

Then at 1255 we hear on the radio three beeps-this says that there is a reported fire. Where? Then Porterville says reported fire on Hills Valley Road close to Highway 180. Wait! This is in the exact direction we have been looking at with Bald Mtn! We swing the firefinder around and pick up an azimuth and distance of the fire from Delilah (235⁰ 40’, 13 miles). We radio in a confirmation of the fire as there is smoke billowing between two hills in the area. Several of our units from the Hume Lake Ranger District respond to this CalFire incident. They called it the Anchor Fire because of being at Anchor Ave and Hills Valley Rd. We monitor the smoke from the area all day, but it is diminishing.

Left is how the smoke actually was, while on the right is how it looked like from Delilah

The big question is why did we not see the smoke? 15 degrees away from where we were looking and 8 miles farther, we should have seen something if there was smoke then. Just 45 minutes previous we were looking intently in that directly and saw nothing. I do not think we were blind. Probably by the time the smoke started being visible, we were concentrating on looking at other features and our map reading. Note to selves: take time to look around as well as studying.

View to northeast-not what we were studying. Castle Peak on right with Mt Goodard in rear on left.

Helicopter 522 requests flight following from Porterville. While this does not follow us, we decide this would be a good drill for us to figure out what does this Flight Following look like? Basically it is when the aircraft is in the air, there is a timed interval which the aircraft wants to check in with a ground unit. The ground unit keeps track of location and time of last contact. This is in case the aircraft does not respond, a search can be instigated based upon direction, and last coordinates. We have not done this for real, so we are just getting used to what it looks like if we are ever called on to assist an aircraft in this fashion..

At the 1600 SNF lookout checkin occurs. We are all ready to answer the call that we were there. But once again they skipped over us. So Sherri radio’s in to say we were inservice and have been since 0930. Of course there is confusion of are we going out of service or in service? Just recording that we are in service. At 1800 we go out of service with both Porterville and SNF.

Mystery Truck

While am I down at the outhouse, Sherri phones saying there is a vehicle on the road (12S19B) to the west of us. Nobody travels that road. We think that it is closed. So we monitor their travels. They go up a ridge opposite of us. They try to climb up an old fire break which was created for the Rough Fire. Then come down and stop at the junction of the fire break and road. Two people get out and disappear, a third stays with the truck. Something to keep track of and wonder what are they doing up there? This is the question which we take up. Are they ne’er-do-wells? Or just campers? We understand there are pot farms in the area. Are they part of that? The sun goes down and we have kept the lights off so we can plot their movements, and maybe a bit incognito on our part. But surely they know we are up there. Getting a bit paranoid are we? Yes! Just remember we are a 45 minute drive from Highway 180. We have locked the lower gate, like we do every night. Still an uncomfortable feeling.

Dinner at the lookout

 

On the other hand, with a full moon, it is a wonderful evening. We see it rising over Park Ridge and somehow that is comforting.

Trail Lesson:  The basic duty of a fire lookout is to look out. Take time to DO, not only study.

Background

Anchor Fire. It grew to 76 acres and was considered out on July 1st at 7:40am.

Description:

 Today is the first of three days up at Delilah Lookout. We were up there once this year, for a day, so we have a mixture of excitement to be back up there and the question of, are we really ready to spend three days up there. We leave Fresno about 0725, a bit later than expected, so when we get to Delilah, we will be rushing a bit. We get to the lookout a bit late-0910, so rush to get set up for our 0930 check in with both Sequoia (Porterville) and Sierra National Forests(SNF).

We take our weather readings, checked the various logs and see in general, what the state of the lookout was. Normal stuff. 1000 comes and Porterville gives their weather and staffing. I have a page where I get to what they read for their report, but we need to take the staffing over the air. Such a hard life.

Delilah Springs Road closed due to falling logs

There are some fires in SNF land, but well outside of our visual. But one fire which is affecting is is the Lions Point fire in SNF near Mammoth, about 55 miles away. We could see the area last week when we backpacked to Vanderberg Lake, but did not see any smoke there. But today there has been a pretty good haze, limiting visibility. At one point, there was a big smoke cloud coming down both the Middle and South Forks of the Kings. I called over to Buck Rock to see if there was something happening up their way. no-she sees the cloud, but thinks it is from the Lions Point fire.

Delilah View of Dunlap Fire

There was a sound from Porterville which got our hearts beating-three beeps. This means that a fire is being called out. Then we heard where it was-just six to eight miles from us! We hear P31 report that he saw a fire on his way in. We cannot see it, not even the smoke from it. Pine Ridge is between us and the fire. But Park Ridge Lookout calls in a confirmation. Pretty soon we hear the area fire crews responding to the incident. There is a plane-not sure what plane I am seeing in the area, so I phone Porterville dispatch and tell them. They are pretty sure it is one of theirs. The plane is right at ridge line, so we cannot see the insignia’s. After an hour, or maybe more, they get the fire out. Back to the routine of being a lookout, not that we were involved, nor did we stop observing our area.

Can you see the smoke? Look above the dead tree in center right. View from Park Ridge Lookout, Courtesy of Wendy Garton

Spotter Plane from Delilah Lookout

 At 1100 we do the SNF lookout check-in. No problems with the radio battery. In past years we have had a lot of issues where SNF could not hear us because the battery would go dead when we checked in. This is a good sign for this year.

A little while later, we see a truck come up the road. Looks like it is ready to do business, since there is a ladder and other maintenance gear in it. It is Mike-we meet him last year. He is here to check on a couple of things. First, one of the camera’s has gone out.We talk about about the solar panel situations and the charging/discharging patterns. He particularly wants to know what is plugged in at night. Really not much. Since no one was here last night, maybe a clock was on, the web cameras (which he says are automatically powered off at night), and the wifi. This puzzles him-he thinks that maybe a battery is going out. During the day the panels are charging up OK, but at night, the voltages drop considerably. We also talk about the phone situation. He thinks that since the phones are VOIP, the phones dropping or having poor connection maybe due to traffic on the network connection. By the time we get done talking, it is approaching 1400. Mike’s next stop? Mammoth to put in some cameras to monitor the Lions Point fire. I have learned a great deal about how the network Delilah is set up with.

Around 1300 two vehicles come up the road and park below the tower. A couple guys get out and they ask how to get to the Kings River? You have to go around Pine Flat Dam as Davis Road and other roads in the area is closed. They are not satisfied. They say their friend has a gold mine close to Davis Flat and trying to get there. But it has been many years since they were there and not sure of its exact location. I told them all roads into the area are closed and they really should check with the Hume Lake Ranger District about how to access their mine. They mumble and go off. I am assuming that if there is an active mine in the area, it is not a gold mine. According to some notes I have about Sampson and Davis Flats, there was some quartz and placer (gold) mines in the area. But they are all closed down.

Cloud watching

By the way, while I have been goofing off, Sherri has done the routine stuff like doing scan’s, taking weather readings and listening the the radio. Also there was a report of some missing personal keys, so I went down to look for them with no success.

Then Kathy comes up. She is the head of Buck Rock Foundation and we have been expecting her. The word of warning: beware of head of foundations bearing gifts, they may be wanting something, or could be a genuinely nice person. In this case it is the later. Kathy stayed with us pretty much all afternoon. I went over some of the the things on my Delilah useful links page. Also we talked about various things affecting the lookout. She also went through some of the refresher material to make sure we were familiar with them.

Lowering the flag

One of the things which we do in the lookout is observe changes in weather. Being mostly a cloud free day, when a cloud pop’s over Park Ridge, we take notice. In this case, the cloud was of unusual shape and we try to imagine what it is-I think it is a cow with horns. When I posted it on Facebook, I got lots of answers, such as a CareBear, a genie, The Hulk, and many others. A friend posted that it looked like the final cloud from the space shuttle Columbia disaster-it does, and that really sobers things up here.

 

Dinner with a view

 

A little after 1700, Kathy left. We did a few more scans and then. It was time to go out of service with both SNF and Porterville at 1800. It has been a busy day, But there is some compensation for the hard working volunteers up in the tower: there is no place in Fresno to eat which has a better ambience for eating than we have up in the lookout. Just spectacular as the sun sets, turning the skies red, watching the lights come on. Wonderful. We get to bed around 2030 and turn off our devices around 2115-Sherri in bed, looking out across the Mill Flat Creek drainage at the rising moon and I on the floor. What a good life.

Description:

Got up 7:45. I must have been somewhat rested as I woke up several times last night and stayed awake for awhile. Nothing profound. I had a short quiet time and then went exploring about how to get across Madera Creek. Had our breakfast and then got things packed. Evidently breaking camp is not our specialty as it took us until 10:30 to hit the trail.

Rose Log Crossing

From my earlier scouting of the area, I thought I had a plausible way across the creek without taking off boots. But I seem to have misplaced it. Am I getting that old? This is the third time this summer which I was not on the ball in my navigational skills.

Rose and Sherri and a steep place

We do cross Madera Creek safely: Sherri and I rock hopping; Rose doing a high log balancing act. We are downstream a little ways from the trail, So I propose we head up the slope and then angle over to get to the trail. We do this without too much struggle, and nor buck brush or manzanita. The trail comes up shortly and we are almost at the top of a ridge.

From the top of the ridge, we lookout over where the waters drain into the San Joaquin River. This includes the areas where we have hiked, but also views all the way to the crest of the Sierra. After returning, we see that there was a fire called the Lion’s Point fire straight across from us. But we do not see any smoke with our naked eyes or later on our the pictures. Mt Ritter is still with us, but not for long.

Lion's Point Fire Location

As we descend, we realize how steep the ascent was. We also get into more the meadows which we passed up earlier. There are two things which really impress us about these meadows, first is the variety of flowers in bloom, Particularly the Hartweig Iris seem to be all over the place. The second is the abundance of mosquitoes which have found us so quickly

View of the Sierra Crest

After a quick stop to film the flowers and meadows before the mosquitoes get to me, I take off and catch up with Rose. She wants me to pass her-I guess it is a bit intimidating to have this huge person pondering dirt right behind you. I think Sherri is in front of me, so I hurry a bit to catch up with her. It feels good to stretch out my legs a bit and the general direction is down, not steeply. So I do pretty good. After going on close to an hour, there has been no sign of Sherri, which gets me to thinking, where is she? I hit the junction with Lillian Lake and decide to continue on down to the Norris Trailhead junction. Still no Sherri. So I drop my pack and head backpack and head back to the previous junction and wait.

One of many meadows

After waiting there for awhile, Rose and Sherri appear. Where has Sherri been? Well when I was talking my pictures, Sherri was actually behind me. So when I took off, I lost both of them. They were wondering what happened to me and now they know! I was looking for them and they for me.

We had a few snacks. A few pictures on top of a small rise and we got our final view of the tip of the Sierra Crest. Just a good way to say goodbye to the area. And then we were off. It was about another mile and a half down to the trailhead. But it seemed like it took us awhile to o this easy downhill. May have been the heat. But we got back to Rose’s vehicle at Fernandez Trailhead in good shape and good spirits.

The drive back was long, but not as eventful as the drive to the trailhead. We stopped at El Cid’s for dinner. Sonya met us there and we had a pleasant conversation. Then went across the parking lot to Remier’s for ice cream. A good way to end a trip.
