The snow arrives early and stacks deep. By the time we trek into the backcountry to cut our Christmas tree over Thanksgiving weekend, we know we won’t make it to the high elevation of traditional holiday evergreens.
There’s just too much powder so I look around the lower lands where we had to park our truck before it was buried and propose an alternative for our family.
“Let’s cut a juniper!” I say enthusiastically.
While those who share my household stare at me like I’m suggesting something blasphemous, I hear two other voices in my head. Both of them know juniper well. Josh Rydalch cuts it. Connor White burns it.
“We called a juniper a cedar because we thought it would smell good like cedar,” says Josh Rydalch who grew up in Plano, Idaho. “When I was eight I remember we cut ‘er down, got ‘er home and threw ‘er up on a pot of water. Low and behold, bugs crawled out of it and the house smelled like pee.”
