I was pleased to find this sight and read of the interest in saving/restoring these LOs. I spoke with Tom Kuekes, District Ranger in the Frazier Park area about hiking up to Thorn LO for the purpose of creating a photographic record of it's current state. The objective it to put together a simple web site with these photos to promote interest for the restoration. Tom indicated that the trail up to Thorn would probably be reopened in the next few weeks. I was enouraged by his responses. If I can accomplish my mission I will provide those interested with the web address of Thorn LO photos.
Regards,
Richard
