"I haven't heard of any rabid squirrels EVER in Wrightwood, however they can carry the Bubonic Plague. It nearly wiped out the entire squirrel population in Wrightwood about 25 years ago and it took a lot of years for them to recover."
Interesting that this should come up, I was speaking with a friend from Arrowbear last week and she told me that they lost all of their squirrels over the last couple of years. She had no idea what killed all of them off, I wonder if it could be "the plague". Intriguing. Was this ever confirmed as the source?
