I am trying to find out about scents that are disctinctive and
descriptive of certain regions in the USA, specifically:

Badlands, SD
Everglades, FL
Painted Desert, CA / NA
Smokey Mountains, or the Blue Ridge Mountains, NC / VA
Gulf Coast (Texas - Florida)
Sierra Nevada, CA
Thousand Lakes, MN
Grand Teton, WY
New England
Adirondacks, NY


Also, any other destination that might have a distinctive aroma from
its native plants and flowers. Or, if anyone has any stories that evoke
an aroma from a trip, that would be very interesting, too. Any
suggestions would be gratefully received. Many thanks

Interesting Question. I never gave it much thought. I'll surely try to
take notice from now on. All I know at this time is, I know when I'm

home
(Houston, TX) when I smell the Mesquete.


Is it just the BBQ smokers. I rarely see mesquite anywhere near
Houston. Chinese tallow, pine, pecan, or oak yes but mesquite?


True, I use pecan myself. I just used Mesquite as a generalization.
