Got news today that our beloved @sturtevantcamp survived the fires. They were finally able to go in and see the damage. So far we know the camp lost its water tank and One cabin. Cabin number 1. Built in 1947 and painted by my family in 2015. We were on one of the groups that volunteered to paint these beautiful cabins and clean up the place. My family went and every single one of them did their part. Helping paint, cook, clean and remove debris. It is still one of my most beloved memories. When the ash clears and it’s ok to go back we will be ready to volunteer again. Any rebuilding needs to be done we will be there. ☹️ all that is left of the bacon is ash now. Aside from this the trail that head up there at least 17 of the 80 privately owned cabins are completely gone. It’s a small little corner of the world and no one was hurt or killed but it still hurts. So much history in this place. Here’s more info about cabin 1 provided by Wilbur Sturtevant... Cabin #1 was one of six cabins built by the Methodist Church after it acquired the Camp in 1947. The bunk-house style was very practical, influenced by the military barracks style of the time (a lot of military surplus was available and used in the 50's.) The Camp was one of 8 in a system reaching from San Diego to Arizona, and the idea was Sturtevant would focus on elementary-age kids, introducing them to the outdoors and 'rustic' camping. There was also the expectation that a road would be coming through to Camp, similar to the 38 out of Azusa; the popular "Lost Bridge" between Wilson and the 38 is a remnant of that idea-- which was originally conceived by Wilbur and Louis Newcome (built the Ranger Cabin) who incorporated with a few others to build a pack trail from Sierra Madre over to the Antelope Valley: Newcomb's Pass is evidence of that failed effort. #sturtevantcamp #sturtevantfalls #sturtevantcampgrounds #bobcatfire https://www.instagram.com/p/CGaZvk6pEGz/?igshid=1n5xsjvcfo4mi

went to sturtevant falls today. it was a nice morning with a temp of about 65, so it was pretty chilly. we saw a gecko fall from above, he was stunned for a few seconds but made his way back up the mountain again. I hope that guys doing okay, I worry about him. #sturtevantfalls #hiking #hikingadventures #waterfall #mountains (at Los Angeles National Park)
