Cactus Dodger?
It looks like a
Cacama
of some sort.
That's quite an amazing find you've got there, Craig.
I'm not extremely familiar with California cicadas, but I'm leaning towards a
Cacama crepitans
even though I don't see any
Cacamas
listed here on BugGuide for San Diego.
But, be that as it may, Bill Reynolds should be able to narrow it down for you better than I can.
Good luck!
