10 of us walked from the
Coach Dr entrance up to the ridge and across to the Manzanita
Hill Loop and back. It was an extremely foggy morning, very wet
and drippy. But it was an enjoyable walk and one we hadn't done
for 4 years. There is lots of death in the manzanita grove and
evidence of new infections, but also lots blooming and seemingly
surviving. About 2.75 miles.
"One of the most significant threats to pallid manzanita is infection by a soil-borne pathogen, Phytophthora cinnamomi, which causes root and crown rot in many woody species resulting in plant mortality within months of showing signs of infection."
