Saw this little guy last week.
Elephant tree. Humble beginnings. Rooted on the side of a granite boulder on "Mike's Mountain," above town of Bahia de los Angeles. Elevation 2000 ft.

The sap or amber from the dead trees is wonderful incense when collected and burned. It oozes and hardens at the base of a dead tree which seem to be
as common as live trees. If the bugs are real bad, burn a chunk of sap and it seems to make the flying insects move on. Lots of stuff in that oil
and it has a heavy perfume odor.

Graham, Nice photo. I'd really love to hike Mike's Mountain sometime. Great books, by the way, my signed copy of your first book I left with
Sheri, so it stayed in Baja. Keep it up. Oh, I missed you a few years back, saw your name and comments in the guestbook at a snug little casa near
Catavina....missed you by a couple of weeks as you went through on your trek.
Many happy miles more..

Skip - perhaps it was that copy of "Into a desert place" that I borrowed from Shari for a few weeks back in 2001. Such a good read. Thanks to you
both.
