Glad you got out safely with the kids, but sorry you didn't get a full trip in. The hair raises on the back of my neck every time I hear "Condor Sanctuary", "Sespe", or even "Los Padres". Having had meth heads at a trailhead level a rifle at me has slightly soured me on the area. We did get to see with binoculars a pair of those amazing birds riding some thermals. Found really fresh cat tracks, too. I hope my follow up with the LPNF Forest Supervisor and other law enforcement agencies had at least the result of some increased patrols.
