I stopped by to take photos of fall wildflowers and discovered that a worker from FWC was making burn piles of the downed trees. He told me the plan is to burn next week, weather permitting. Apparently that's the only burn option for which they can get a permit, he told me. There is a growing fire danger because of the drought, so I can understand that.
He also told me that someone had cut the lock on the front gate and made it look as though it was still intact. My number one suspect is the berry picker, but it's hard to say.
