My buddy Mathis the Woodchuck tells me that all the pines on his Camp Runamucka property are gonna die from Beetlefest. This specimen in Vets Memorial Park is at death's door. Two other trees have been felled there recently due to their age or poor health.
Dawn, Vern's wife, says that in and around North Fock the problem seems just as bad as up in Tuolumne and Mariposa counties. Justin reported the pines last summer as about one-third infested and browning, but since then the situation has gone, for lack of a better term, "bug-fock."
Dawn claimed that no one bothers with getting a permit to cut downed, dead trees any longer because all they need do is to pull over and load up off the side of the road. The wood still burns well, apparently.
Good luck with that, all you woodchucks and tree-huggers alike.
Woodchucks, for those that don't know any, are guys with permits for resale, generally. There will be a pop quiz about quantities per woodchuck soon.

A pair of California Buckeyes, bushes to some, trees to others.
"When does a bush become a tree?"--Rose Bush Gardner
In June the California buckeye assumes a vastly different hillside look:
Its leaves brown out in a distinctive tan and the grey bark contrasts with it, making the tree very striking in appearance.
The globes of this 'horse chestnut' are edible, I'm sure, but as a last resort before starvation.
"There's always some interviewer aking me that question, 'What's the deal with your name, Billy?'
I always tell them it's a diminutive of William."
--Billy Green Bush

In honor of the man who started this thread:
And when he posts his TR about our time in central Oregon, you will learn more about this tree and this orchard.
