Surveyor Name:	Los Padres Forest Association
Camp Description:	LPFA led a multi-week trail project this spring 2019 focused on the Alamar Trail.  The Alamar should be in the best shape its been in for over a few decades.  This latest project cleared the trail from above Dutch Oven down to Lower Alamar and then up and over to the Lomas and down to Caracole Camp just above Mono Narrows.  Have at it! Lower Alamar Camp was in good shape, table intact and recently painted.  It could use some campers though.  Get out and check it.
Water Source:	Flowing
Water Source Details:	Alamar Creek is cranking along!
Weather Conditions:	some rain, some sun

Link:	Lower Alamar Camp
Date:	02-29-2016
Surveyor Name:	Los Padres Forest Association
Camp Description:	Lower Alamar Camp (aka Alamar Tin Shack) was looking great.  The table and fire ring were moved into the small meadow about a year ago and its made the camp much much nicer.  Didn't appear that anyone has stayed here since then.  Water was flowing nicely through the creek, although it had more silt in it than you'd like with no deep pools to be found.
Water Source:	Flowing
Water Source Details:
Weather Conditions:	HOT for February, low 80's and sunny!
