Matt this is of great important to birders. My own opinion is you are
not cluttering the SBB site.
We need to know what our rights within the law as responsible citizens.
I never trespass. So if someone simply does not want people around in
particular birders we need to know our rights.
It is also good to be cautious in that area and respectful of any
possible conflict.
This is about being polite in the field, but also knowledgeable of our
rights as citizens excising our right to view birds in public areas.
Thanks for the update.

Subject: [SBB] Parking and access on Mt. Hamilton
Following my previous posting on April 25, I have verified that:
It IS legal to park anywhere alongside either Highway 130 or San Antonio
Valley Road -- as long as your car is off the paved road, and the area
is not posted with a 'no parking' sign that cites a state or county
ordinance. Both UCSC police and county deputies agree that "pedestrians
and cars will no longer be asked to leave the roadways" (UCSC Vice
Chancellor Christina Valentino, in coordination with UCSC police and the
Santa Clara County Sheriff's office).
Smith Creek trail is open to the public. The gate closing and no
trespassing signs were apparently done by a neighboring
"overenthusiastic rancher" (Park Ranger Lisa at Grant Ranch). Lisa
opened the gate, which had been wired shut, and told me to ignore the
'no trespassing signs' that had been posted on trees.
As to parking in front of the CDF fire station at Smith Creek, I have
not been able to verify who posted the signs, or the legality of the
prohibition. The CDF station is closed during the months of low fire
hazard. As the no parking signs do not cite any ordinance, I'm
suspicious they might have been posted by an overenthusiastic neighbor,
also. More to follow.
To not clutter South Bay Birds with off-subject items, I refrained from
posting a more detailed explanation.
If you wish, I will email it to you upon your request.
