Next time you run over/through a creosote bush, maybe you'll be a little
sorry...

What? No mention of the banned wood preservative product? I love the
smell of that stuff. Dad still has a gallon. That stuff worked.

My XR600 brush guards still have greenish stains from the
high speed weave through the creosote. I love that riding.
Point, shoot, react.

I'm more worried about this:

Don't they look soft and fluffy (from a distance)?

You really have to respect something that's 11,000 years old.

Yes. You can't see the barbs, though. And some of them are called
'jumping chollas' -- the entire loosely-attached sticker-cluster
detaches itself from the cactus rather than just a single sticker.

The desert will kill you if it gets half a chance. Utah Juniper looks
pretty and friendly, but it will rip out your radio antenna without even
breathing hard if you get too close.

What's the cure for that- 12 beers and a group of friends that always
wanted to rip the flesh from your bones?
