The Gulf of Mexico. I never noticed it growing up, but when I leave and come back it is unforgettable. Smells like home.

Along with Vicks there is Mentholatum. That stuff is still the best for chapped lips.

Smells....
The alert ramp with Dad or when the wind was right.
Baking summer day, fresh ties while waiting for the coal-fired steam special with no cheater power to pound past.
July lightning storms.
The first whiff of hot dirt after winter.
Hay in the barn right after put up.
Cedar in the mill. Pine, too.
Steaks on the grill.
Castrol on race day.
Up hills slow, Down hills fast Tonnage first and Safety last.

Outboard motor exhaust. One of my favorites.
I probably hit more elk with a pickup than you have with a rifle. I have yet to see anyone claim Leupold has never had to fix an optic. I know I have sent a few back. 2 MK 6s, a VX-6, and 3 VX-111s.

The damp smell of our hunting camp after it was been boarded up and unheated all winter.

An hour and a half in a field ambulance with two burned bodies that we pulled from a crashed T38.
The smells of my first "true love", her hair, her perfume....

When I go to my sisters house, and she makes the same recipe of lasagna that my mother did, back in the sixties. For some reason ,my brain is wired ,so that when I smell a certain odor that I haven't smelled in some time, I remember a certain time I smelled it . Not a chronological date, but rather a visual image imprinted in my brain. Lasagna odor places me in front of the sink, in the kitchen of the house I grew up in.

The smell of a oil burning USN ship.
Years after discharge (1974), I went on the museum cruiser tied up in Buffalo, NY many years ago. The first inhale was like being transported back to the tin can I was on. They smelled exactly the same.
and the smell of my wife.

A speckled trout slick in Galveston's West Bay on an early morning.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

I have an original tube of RCBS case lube. Every time I open it it reminds me of the early 70's when I started reloading.

A speckled trout slick in Galveston's West Bay on an early morning. Oh, yeah, or a speck in hand.

Wood smoke from a chimney on the first cold day of fall.
The dust and copper smell of a bobwhite quail.
Hoppes No. 9 when I was a kid in the 60's, It doesn't seem to smell the same now though.
An old Allis Chalmers tractor after it's been working hard.

The smell of 3031 burned over a dog field in the early Wyoming morning. By the way, 36 grains of the stuff in a Swift case topped off with 55gr V-max is a super mixture.
New car smell of Detroit Iron. Hard to find these days for a number of reasons.
The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those who got there first.
