I have noticed several times after December / January thunder storms, the impact that heavy rain can have on the ground at the pines. There is usually a massive migration of sand and pine needles down the slope of the campground.

It will be interesting to see how the campground changes once the pines are gone. Cause love em or hate em, the current non indigenous pine trees do contribute massive amounts of organic material onto the campsite floor. Once they are removed, even if replaced with indigenous connifers (like the Calitris pines that are native to the area) I doubt that the ground will be capable of holding it's fragile soft covering of sandy soil and organic material.

It'd be a real shame to rock up to the pines campground in 5 years and be met with a dust bowl of stones.

POST EDIT:

To any of you involved with this transition / plan at the pines: best of luck! I'll be rootin' for ya! It's not an easy task to manage.
