Color photo postcard of a bristlecone pine tree with a bright yellow advertisement for the Bristlecone Motel in Big Pine. Someone has written on the front: Paul Campbell, Long Beach [and a phone number].
On reverse: Survival astounds science. These Latin-named "Pinus Aristata" have managed to survive in spite of the most adverse living conditions that old mother nature could produce. In an extremely cold, mostly barren 10,000 foot elevation, plagued by fire, extremely high wind velocities, minimum precipitation, and almost unbelievable temperature variation,these patriarchs of history have managed to stay alive to astound science with their ability to preserve the most coveted prize since time began, "Life Itself."
