TRAFFIC COUNTERS ARE INSTALLED
The U* S. Forest Service has instal
led traffic counters at Cliffside and Van
Hook Recreation areas. This will give an
accurate ocunt of the vehicles entering
these areas. The total number of vehicles
will then be multiplied by a factor, which
is the average number of passengers in
each vehicle, to give an estimate of the
number of visitors each area receives dur
ing the year. The U. S. Forest Service
will use these figures in long range plan
ning for maintenance of the recreation
areas and making additional facilities
available for camping and picnicing in the
Highlands area.
Recreation enthusists will be at
their peak during the next three months
and questions concerning camping, picnic
ing, swimming, fishing, hiking, etc. can
be answered at the office of the High
lands Ranger District which is located
above the Post Office and is open to the
public on Monday and Friday of each week.
