User's notes

Thanks to Marcus Leach for the initial sighting of the covered forage way up this charred tree, and the Coconut ants passing along the breaks in the forage way. The ants were also active outside the forage way on the charred tree trunk. The forage way appears mostly intact from ground level to high up in the tree.
