The Vulcan Mining company denied access to their property for Duarte's Wilderness Day. This caused quite a stir. It was arranged for Mom (mayor) and Congresswoman Judy Chu to fly up Fish Canyon so that Judy could see the desctruction that was occuring as well as view the future site that Vulcan wishes to ruin. This is a picture of us in front of the LA Country Fire Dept. helicopter. It was the highlight for the kids.
Kevin (a firefighter and paramedic) showed us all the tools they use in rescues.
Here, Congresswoman Judy Chu and Mom talk about what they saw after flying up to see Fish Canyon.
Here is a shot of Fish Canyon Falls taken from the helicopter. That is more water than I ever remember flowing over the falls.
Here is a quick video of the helicopter landing at Encanto Park in Duarte. The mountain seen to the right will be lowered by 600 feet if the mining proposition is passed by the Azusa City Council. You can see Mom waving as the aircraft touches down.
