SanPasqual

Dr. Scott mentioned that it is known that there are GSOBs in Ramona, but that nobody has checked San Pasqual which is just to the west of Ramona. So, I took a trip to San Pasqual. I looked around for a long time and couldn't find any. Finally, I found one just before I had to go home. I think that this tree is infested. I was sad that the beautiful trees might be infested, but excited that I might have found a GSOB tree that nobody else knew about.

This is a healthy tree with no GSOBs.

This is closer up on a healthy tree.

Here's another one of those black beetles (not a GSOB). This tree is burned a little.

More exit holes in the same tree.





As you can see, this tree had some fire damage too.
