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.
ReplyDeleteI 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...)
ReplyDeleteI love those trees, though (although I've never noticed the smell of the berries.. I'll have to pay more attention to that!)
