SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

Hello, everyone. This is Alice, I Am of the Stars.

I just discovered the Oak Flats Fire Station, and it is not looking so good out here. I will show you …

[Shows dilapidated building.] Abandoned, I guess. I thought maybe there was a fire, but maybe not … just weather? And you can see something fell through the roof here. [Shows limb on roof.] [Shows garage with a wide door.] Over on this side, I guess maybe the fire truck was here. Maybe it could still be here, but it seems very unlikely to me. So … the Oak Flats Fire Station.

[Shows this sign: Oak Flats Campground, Angeles National Forest.] This is the Oak Flats Campground, Angeles National Forest. But I see that it is closed. It looks beautiful, except for the sound of the freeway nearby. It smells like heaven because of all the trees around, especially the pine trees around, that smell absolutely delightful.

I guess it is closed because of COVID [the COVID-19 pandemic].

[Shows rumpled pages of paper posted on an outdoor bulletin board.] Yes, I see here in the fine print that the trouble is that COVID caused a temporary closure of public trails and trailheads, beaches, piers, beach bike paths, and beach access points. That was dated 27 March 2020.

It looks like it has not reopened since then. A pretty big campground … spacious, right flat, a lot of tree shade.

. . . . .

In love, light and joy,
I Am of the Stars
