Aren't all those oak trees just wonderful, the way they dot the California landscape?  Such great, beautiful trees!

I think those late spring shades of green about match the scenery on the La Mesa Club.
A wonderful photo, is that trail available to vistors?

What is that white scar in the upper right of the frame - a quarry?

When I was in Tehachapi about a month ago it looked like a lot of the oak trees were dying.  There are several beetle infestations in California right now that are affecting the oak tree populations.  I believe the Gold Spotted Oak Borer is the biggest threat in Southern California.

It's all private property but there aren't exactly guards patrolling the area.
