This particular tree is on a stretch of road in eastern New Mexico and unfortunately this is the only pic that I was able to get today. I'll get more next week when I get back out there There's actually a few similar to this one within the same couple of acres of land......

Yea I'm guessing this one is hundreds of years old! Only stands around 8-10' tall but has tons of character....
