I should not be surprised, but I still am regarding how few people realize nine out of every ten Eucalyptus trees on El Camino are on Caltrans' chopping block.  People see the survey team out and about up and down the state highway and wonder "What's that all about?"  When you tell them they go "NO, really?"  To which I say "Really".  It interesting to see where some of the stakes are landing–much further into the sidewalks and private property than you would think.  That may not mean what some think it means, but we shall see when property owner notices start going out.  Here's the theodolite–and yes, I did have to look that word up.

    Unfortunately the tree’s time it up. Does anyone recall the grove of Eucs along San Mateo High’s football field bordering Woodlake? All gone as of this year!

    MBGA….Wow, just wow. That is an outstanding effort! I cannot recall enjoying a song this much where I disagree with the premise. You (or whomever wrote/sang it) are very talented. Please feel free to keep it up!

  4. Joe,the effort is quite minimal today with AI.
