Campgrounds Closed Due To Bubonic Plague

Posted on July 26, 2013 by Kyle Kuns

A squirrel with bubonic plague was found in Angeles Forest. Three Campgrounds have been closed as a result while officials attempt to control flees. Closed campgrounds are: Broken Blade, Twisted Arrow, and Pima Loops. Call the health department’s “Vector Management Program” at (626) 430-5450 if you see dead ground squirrels.

    sorry… got BACK from Heaton Flats! Weird because we were talking to the Ranger and some campers that have been there for a while and no one said anything.
