I think Gregory has it right. Haffey used the phony SYRCL number they used to boost their stance during the hearings. Of course, the Board defeated them (I had a little to do with that) so Izzy had her pal from the Bay Area take it up and not one official from here or the District supported it. But her subterfuge won the day. Now she is a $100,000 a year CEO like Frisch. All non-profits. What a joke.

One thing for sure former Supervisor Hank Weston was a big supporter of he Park. Here’s a quote from 2012. State Parks District Superintendent has a quote on his estimate of attendance. It’s grown since then.
“This is a quid pro quo situation,” Weston said. “I basically told the state if you want us to help you, you need to take the parks off the closure list.”
California State Parks District Superintendent Matt Green said he was receptive to the plan.
“I believe this makes the running of the park more sustainable,” he said. “We needed to find some way to extend our fee base to pay for the high cost of staffing.”
Green said more than 450,000 people visited South Yuba State Park last calendar year.”

In an interview on Friday, Cormier told CNN, “No, I’ve not seen it personally,” when asked if he had seen the documents mentioned in the story — including “internal company emails, text messages, and a cache of other documents” — that purportedly showed Trump told Cohen to lie.
Cormier only claimed that the two sources he cited were “fully, 100 percent read-in to that aspect of the special counsel’s investigation.”

Walt, Todd and Don- I’ll admit I have no idea how many people use the Park (and I don’t particularly care), but I do know every 5 years the state parks publishes a very detailed (and yes they include estimates if they don’t have a direct count method such as entrance fees) spreadsheet on their Parks. Why don’t you take the 5 minutes to Google the latest stat instead of calling people liars based on your hunch? I am flabbergasted that a County Supervisor is unaware of such a publication and that he admittedly didn’t bother referring to it when he was an elected official.

The number was a couple of hundred people on a Saturday and a Sunday in the summer. Those brilliant people then extrapolated it in a way to inflate the numbers.

No. I’m always more interested in original source documents.
I did find something from the state from 15+ years ago that showed between 300k-400k visitors, so I believe 700k as a published current amount. What I don’t believe is 2k people per day on average, the number just seems far too high. I don’t have a dog in that fight, so I didn’t look into it further.

The number from the FY 2009/10 report… nine years old… says 355k free day use.
Meaning the 700k number is about twice as large as reality, if one thinks the guesses by Park staff are reality, as larger numbers generally pay better than smaller numbers.
A retired California Park Ranger I know quite well told me if I’ve had a margarita in a restaurant in old town San Diego, chances are that was reported as a day use in the park.
So… if someone crosses the Yuba on the 49 bridge… is that a day use? Some fraction of a day use? What if you drive within eyeshot of the covered bridge?
