Newcomb Pass rescue? and Kenyon-Devore trail damage

Saw 2 not-nice things on my ride yesterday:

1) The Kenyon-Devore trail has been damaged by someone who walked nearly the entire length of the trail on the soft outer shoulder, causing the outer edge of the trail to slump. It wasn't natural stride length, either, but seemed a deliberate attempt at damaging the shoulder with short, carefully-placed steps. The perp also attempted to simulate a skidding bike by 'trenching' the middle of the trail at the entrance to some of the corners. I'm wondering if it's the same fellow who keeps placing large rocks on the smooth outside line on Rincon Road.

2) There was a helicopter at Newcomb Pass about 6:30 PM, did some circles and then hovered for 15 minutes. I couldn't see the action from my angle, so don't know what it was. Anybody hear anything about a rescue?

NOTE: For the sake of historical continuity, I have copied this topic post to the thread for Kenyon DeVore Trail conditions. Please go there to continue discussing the trail, and stay here to discuss the helo at the Pass.

Ah...thanks. Oversight on my part, sorry.
