Wilderness Walk

When Vulcan Materials shut down the City of Duarte's ability to take people up to Fish Canyon Falls on the Wilderness Walk (which had been allowed for many previous years), LA County Supervisor Mike Antonovich secured a helicopter to take Margaret, Congresswoman Judy Chu and Save Our Canyon reps. up to see the destruction caused to the mountains by the mining that has been allowed. We also were able to see all of the run off from Fish Canyon Falls from the air. One of the highlights of the day for Brielle and Gavin was to see the helicopter land and take off.
Gavin was pretty excited to see the "hullah" up close.
Gavin and Brielle watch with their moms as the helicopter was getting ready to take off from Encanto Park.
