Alligator Junipers
Alligator Bark Juniper trees. They only grow in a few scarce areas of Arizona and New Mexico, and also Texas I think. Beautiful thick-trunked trees with occasional blue berries. I wouldn't eat them. They smell foul. Like fuel.
High altitudes, about a mile above sea level. Baking is different there. But nursing is not all that different. The helicoptors go out as much as they go in, I suppose.

Fabulous bark.
I wonder if (motorhead that I am) "smells like fuel" would be an asset for me?
Actually, the helicopters go in and out a little slower... (higher altitude makes for thinner air, less lift for the rotors...)
I love those trees, though (although I've never noticed the smell of the berries.. I'll have to pay more attention to that!)
