Sonny Perdue, Secretary of Agriculture, stopped by the Angeles today to discuss fire restoration! How exciting! Thank you to the @SecretarySonny and his staff for the honor of hosting. #OneUSDA #FireRestoration

This is the first time I have seen a Secretary wear an Orvis shirt with the USDA logo. They usually wear a suit. He looks like he works for Edison or the Gas Company.  First they took away our green trucks and now they take away our green uniforms and make us look like utility workers.

He isn't wearing a Forest Service uniform because he isn't Forest Service.  USFS is one agency under the USDA, which he heads.  It is a big deal when a Cabinet member visits, he wasn't here to make a fashion statement.

Last month we collaborated w/ @CaliforniaDFW
  to conduct aquatic habitat improvement at Jackson Lake. Over 300 non-native fish were captured; many were goldfish, roughly 10% carp, and 2 bullhead catfish. We were also able to capture 6 red-eared slider turtles, and one box turtle.

The Vincent Gap trail heads will be seeing some major changes as construction begins today on new fencing, restroom repairs, and trail work.  The main, south parking area will see resurfacing, while the north turnout will be inaccessible due to dirt.  Thank you for your patience!

So I've drove up to WW a dozen or so times since mthigh opened.  I was surprised to see how incinerated the area between Big Rock Creek and Mile High was.  I also noticed the little cabin on the right in that area burned.  My folks neighbor Mike Highland built that place years ago.  He also built my folks house over by Littlerock Dam.   

After years of seeing  Camp Elk between mile high and Jackson Lake it occurred to me the other day there might be a relation between the camp and the Moderator who goes by Elk on the forum?

It was a comment you made about being a little closer to Mile High than the folks in WW.
