Spotted this article in the Los Angeles Times; http://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-dying-forests-20151020-story.html I certainly felt that trees looked more distressed this summer; more dead ones, and more fallen across paths. I took this photo going down the valley on the south side of Vogelsang Peak. A shocking number are grey, dead trees.
Anyone else think that it looked worse this summer?

I was shocked at the extent of the pine bark beetle kill-off on the Colorado Trail. Very, very scary stuff! 
i think ive seen this in los padres nf in socal…its ugly. The last 2 months were extremely hot here in santa monica.Way above normal,record breaking,everyday.In fact,i dont think there has ever been a stretch of 90deg weather here for more than a 1 week let alone 2months…Thank god november and cold weather has arrived!
vast tracts of pine beetle killed trees on east side of cascades one thing is it's not quite as cold in the winter as it used to be, so more pine beetles over winter
