John's a botanical and aviary whiz kid, so I told him that I expected him to identify every living thing we would see during our trip. Creosote is, as you note, one of the most predominant, widely-spread plants in DV, but I think I had him convinced I could never get it straight. Between creosote and ravens/crows, I had him pulling his hair out. He even took a number of photos of creosote so I'd remember.
Sorry to hijack your thread Steve!
