I wonder if the city forester has even been on this trail recently. Having been on this trail recently with my 2 dogs, I can tell you if the dangerous tree fell, it would take 2 other Monterey Pines with it. Thanks for the warning yellow tape around the tree. It reminds me of the danger.
Visualize this tree situation on Scenic Road and it would be taken care of before I would have time to write this comment.
Maybe we should sent notification to the city so if it falls and someone is hurt, the city cannot claim they didn't know anything about it. Just a thought, while we are waiting for nothing to happen with the city. Anyone with a chain saw?
